352 - “We Are All Ships At Sea” Hebrews 5-8

                                                   

Things are not really as they seem.

There are Things God is doing that we know not of.

There are Things we are doing that will not be what they are today.

There is Someone greater than every person on the face of this earth.
There is an Anchor for our soul, safe and secure. Heb 6:19.

"We are in this world as a ship at sea, tossed up and down, and in danger of being csast away.  We need an anchor to keep us sure and steady."  Matthew Henry

Gospel Hope.

Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest.  Heb 6:11.

For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.  Heb 6:12.

There is a sure look for Good Things promised in His Favor.  Love.  Desires.  Values.  Comfort.  God's purposes for our eternity.  Set your affections above not banely below.  Go forward in the "doctrine" of Christ.  Fall Forward in the Truth.  Taste the Truth.  Drink it in!  Urge your conscience full throttle froward to live by the truth.

And never forget Hebrews 1:3 God upholds all things by the word of His power. Things, as they seem this day, are really not what they will be. I may be stuck thinking that this is just a horrible situation when it really may not be anything but the watercourse directed by God in our lives.
