An Anchor for the Soul: Staying Stable in Unstable Times
By: Timothy Cross
We face many threats to our inner peace and equilibrium. The storms of life, illness, disappointment, tragedy and redundancy can strike us so suddenly. Life in this world is no smooth passage. In the midst of our personal storms we may unconsciously sigh: ‘If only we had an anchor for our soul- an anchor, which keeps us from ‘going under’ in stormy times.
The good news is that in the Christ of the Bible we may find the earthly and eternal security, stability and safety we crave. Christian hope in Christ is an anchor for the soul (Hebrews 6:19). Just as an anchor provides stability amidst the storm because it is fixed on a solid object, so the promises of God in Christ are sure and steadfast (Hebrews 6:19), for Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and for ever (Hebrews 13:8).
This book directs the reader to the sure and certain promises of God. Yes, life can resemble a merciless, stormy sea. Yes, our souls can feel like a fragile, vulnerable ship. But Christian hope is an anchor- anchored firmly into Christ the solid Rock and ‘hidden source of calm response.” If you belong to Jesus, it is well with your soul (3 John 2).
My prayer is that in reading this book you will draw near to Christ and that Christ will draw near to you. I cannot promise you a trauma free life, but, directing you to the God of the Bible, I can guarantee that He will be the stability of your times (Isaiah 33:6).
In times like these, I have a Saviour
In times like these, I have an anchor
I’m very sure, I’m very sure
My anchor holds and grips the solid Rock
This rock is Jesus; yes He’s the One
This rock is Jesus, the only One
I’m very sure, I’m very sure
My anchor holds and grips the solid Rock.
