We are in the midst of the storm of life. The believing saints of God are on board the ship. Someone looks to the horizon and warns, “We are directly in the path of the typhoon! We are as good as dead. We will surely be dashed to pieces on the rocks!”
But calmly someone else advises, “Look down, look down! We have an anchor!” We look, but the depth is too great. We cannot see the anchor. But the anchor is there. It grips the immovable rock and holds fast. Thus the ship outrides the storm.
The Holy Spirit has assured us that we have an Anchor, steadfast and sure, that keeps the soul. Jesus—Savior, Redeemer and our great High Priest—is that Anchor. He is the One who has gone before us. He has already entered into the calm and quiet harbor, the inner sanctuary behind the curtain.
Where Jesus is now, there we will be—forever.
