TOPIC: ANCHORED IN CHRIST

THEME SCRIPTURE: "We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul." (Hebrews 6:19)

 

PREPARATORY QUESTION 

1. If you lost the person or thing you depend on most, what would still hold you?

 

 

 

 

Many years ago, a man built a thriving business in Puerto Rico after graduating from a University in Germany. He was an artist, a linguist and a musician. He married, and life seemed complete. Then his wife died.

Grief swallowed his work, his friendships and his hope. His business folded and he moved to New York. A friend urged him to teach languages. He couldn't because though he had the skill he wasn't having the desire. At 57, he died by suicide.

His story is sad. It also carries a warning. His whole life was anchored in one person. When his wife was gone, nothing could hold him together.

Loving people is right. God gave them to us. But no person can carry the full weight of our security, purpose and hope in this life. People die, leave, change and fail.

An anchor does not stop storms. It keeps the boat from drifting onto the rocks. Christ does not remove grief. Believers still weep, and loss still hurts. But grief anchored in Christ has somewhere to go. He is near the brokenhearted. He supplies what we need. He gives a purpose that outlives any loss.

Ask yourself, beloved, what you are anchored to.—a spouse, children, a career, health or reputation? Each is a gift. None is a foundation. Move the weight onto Christ.

Do it before the storm comes. An anchor must be set ahead of time. Build the habit now through prayer, Scripture, fellowship with the brethren and discipleship.

Key Takeaway

People can enrich your life, but only Christ can hold it.

Precious one, love fully, but do not make anyone your foundation. If grief or challenges are heavy on you today, turn to your relationship with Christ. He alone gives rest to the weary soul. 

Remain blessed.
