DEVOTION OF THE DAY - AUGUST 16, 2013 THE ANCHOR OF OUR HOPE Frank, Ted, and I were fishing for bluegill on Rice Lake in Ontario, Canada. We were on a pontoon boat, and the fish were really biting. Busy baiting and hooking, we slowly became aware that the action has slacked off. Then we realized why: The boat was no longer sitting where we had put it. A strong wind had come up and pushed it across the water. The anchor could not hold us and was sliding across the lake bottom. We hauled it up, returned to our hot spot, and reanchored. We were moved away again. After a third try, we went back to shore. We could not get our anchor to grab and stick. When it comes to our salvation, our hope is anchored in the promise of God and the work of Jesus Christ. The winds and waves of doubt, discouragement, and spiritual attack by the evil one can cause us to think that we are adrift and salvation from God is not secure. Not so! God has given His promise that hope is securely fastened in Jesus Christ who redeemed us once and for all when He died, rose again, and ascended to heaven. Our anchor is the Rock unmovable - Jesus Christ. His limitless love hold us sure and steadfast. David Egner - (Our Daily Bread)
