A Sure Anchor Scripture Reading: Hebrews 13:1–6 Key Verses: Hebrews 13:5–6 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we may boldly say: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” As the storm clouds roll across the horizon of our lives, we must prepare to face adversity with confidence. Once the trials or testing times arrive, it is time to evaluate where we have dropped the anchor of our faith. Does our anchor reach deep enough that our faith is securely fastened to the Lord? When you place your hope and faith in anything other than Christ, you are going to be disappointed. The things of this world may satisfy temporarily, but eventually the emptiness in your heart will overtake any satisfaction. No matter how much support and encouragement our friends may give us, the peace that is necessary to weather many storms in our lives can come only from God. No matter how much money we have, it will never solve all our problems or fill all our emptiness. But our hearts anchored in Christ will hold us tightly as we endure all of these storms. God rejoices over His children, delighting in bringing about the best for our lives. Nothing in our lives surprises Him. He knows it all, and He knows the best way for us to stand strong against these difficulties. “For He Himself has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’ So we may boldly say, ‘The Lord is my helper, I will not fear. What can man do to me?’ ” (Hebrews 13:5–6). Lord, when material goods start to draw my attention away from You, help me to stay anchored in You so that I can withstand life’s storms.
