Anchor for the Soul

Anchors are a part of the essential

equipment found on any ship and are used

for a variety of reasons and circumstances.

They are dropped in tranquil waters, as

when stopping for the night or waiting for a

berth in port, to prevent a ship from drifting

away because of slight winds, tides, or

currents. Anchors are also utilized when a

ship is engulfed in a storm, to avoid running

aground on sandbars or being dashed

against protruding rocks.

The writer of Hebrews compares our hope in Christ to a ship’s anchor. During

peaceful times we, like the unanchored ship, are in danger of drifting away from God

because of the subtle pull of the world around us. Our hope in Christ keeps us where

we should be.

In the storms of life, we also, like the ship, are at risk of running aground and

becoming lodged on a sandbar of discouragement or being broken apart by the sharp

rocks of grief or despair. Our hope in the Lord will hold us steady and help us ride

out the storm.

Through this imagery “…we who have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us

may be greatly encouraged” (Hebrews 6:18).
