“We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where Jesus, who went before us, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.” (Hebrews 6:19-20, NIV).
Are you really trusting in God? Do you really believe that Jesus is the only hope that you have? Have you ever questioned God's Sovereignty, His Omnipotence (power) & His Omniscience (knowledge)? Have you ever asked, God are You really there? Trusting in Jesus is more than a religious cliché, it is the act of surrendering your life daily to His Lordship, even when it hurts! There is no other way to live the Christian life!
Do you really trust in God’s abilities? Do you really believe that He is the Lord of your life? Are you totally committed to the process that God uses to transform our lives? I believe that God is calling His people to a deeper level of commitment to the teachings of Christ. Trusting in Jesus is to surrender every area of your life even when it hurts! "Our commitment to Jesus can stand on no other foundation than a recognition that He is the One who knows the truth about our lives... It is not possible to trust Jesus...in matters where we do not believe Him to be competent. We cannot pray for His help and rely on His collaboration in dealing with real life-matters we suspect might defeat His knowledge or abilities" (p. 94 of The Divine Conspiracy by Dallas Willard). There can be no other way to live the Christian life!
Friends, do not place your hope in human relationships or material possessions. Material things will pass away and relationships change but the God of the universe remain “the same yesterday, today, and forever” Place your hope in the Lord Who gives us “hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.” No matter what is going on in your life keep hope alive! Grace and peace! I am praying for you!
