Daily Devotions

That author of the Book of Hebrews, chapter 6, verses 18-19 wrote, “That by two immutable things, in which it was
impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;”
Some days you may feel as if God is distant and find it difficult to sense His presence. This can be especially true if your circumstances are changing at a rapid pace.
Yet Hebrews 13:8 promises, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”
Your Savior has not moved; His love for you is powerful, unshakable, and eternal (cf. Jer. 31:3)- an anchor for your soul no matter what happens.
Still, whenever you sense your relationship with God growing cold, it’s wise to stop and examine your heart. Have you been distracted from seeking Him? Are you more concerned with the details of your life than your relationship with Him? Have you compromised and biblical principles?
Just like a boat in turbulent waters, it’s easy to drift from God if you’re not anchored to the truth of His Word. If that’s where you are right now, I encourage you to return to God by opening His Word and listening for His voice. He wants to speak to you. Then, no matter what happens, you’ll certainly be strong, steadfast, and immovable (cf. 1 Cor. 15:58).
Prayer thought: “Father, don’t let me drift. Draw me close and reveal the nearness of Your presence through Your Holy Word, amen,”
For today, stay anchored and strong!
