LOOKING FOR A ROPE TO TIE A KNOT IN?

This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil ~~ Hebrews 6:19

I will never forget the illustration Kay Arthur used for this verse as she taught during the Fall Women's Conference at Precept Ministries last month. This was my first time attending the conference, and it definitely won't be my last.

We seem to always be looking for that proverbial rope to tie a knot in and hang on as life overwhelms us. Kay had a real rope that she anchored to the podium and used it over and over to drive home the point.... WE HAVE A ROPE and it is the hope that anchors our soul from within the veil!! Read Hebrews 10:10-14. We have a High Priest, Jesus, who offered one sacrifice for sin. No matter what happens to us, when we fail, when we go through trials, when we go looking for that rope to tie a knot in.... it is never any farther away than down on our knees.... and that rope holds.
