Hebrews 6:13-20 | What's the lesson for me today?
Be Anchored
Life throws all kinds of things our way. It is unpredictable. It can be difficult to manage all that is there and often times, we feel the need to deal with and address them. Our lives become tumultuous as a result and we can find ourselves tossed to and fro by the varying circumstances that prevail against us. Rather than trying to address all the things that are going on, what would it take for us to be rooted or anchored?
This is a question I have been exploring for myself. What would life look like to be anchored in this way? It is incredibly difficult to be tossed to and fro when you are anchored. Whether it be by doctrine or circumstances, holding fast to the simple truths of the work of Christ can overcome the threat of those things around us.
One of my mentors in my early years had asked me a question, "Zac, how do you keep God first in your life when things get hard?" I told him that I hold on to the promises of God. "That's great!" he said, "What are His promises?" I stopped and could not find what promises to hold on to. I offered generic responses like how God is good or that He never fails. "It is really hard to hold on to the promises of God if you do not know His promises," he told me. It was a great point. It is one I reiterate here. It is hard to hold on to hope if we do not know what that hope is.
The tricky thing with this is that it is not something that I can just give the answer to. Sure I can tell you of the wonders of His death and resurrection. I can testify of the sanctifying work of grace in our lives and that we stand righteous before God because of the work of Jesus. I can even spell out the mystery of how God can see us as spotless even when you know your own sin. Until it is spiritually revealed to you, that may all become knowledge for the sake of knowledge. The place we should be driven is to be in the word and in prayer that the Lord would reveal to our hearts the hope He has. Do not just look for a quick answer. In fact, don't look for an answer at all. Look unto the Lord and in Him you will find all you need.
