Word of Encouragement for Every New Day ~ 15 May 2008

Security and Identity in Christ: Where is your anchor in. What are the foundational building blocks to building a strong sense of security and identity in Christ? No matter where we are at right now with our personal relationship with God, it is vital that we constantly guard our hearts and self-check. The moment we let our guard down, we will be prone to the enemy’s attack. The enemy wants to rob us, confuse us, and take away what is rightfully ours that has been given to us by God. Today’s word of encouragement is an encouragement to always be anchored, firmly secured in God’s promises. The moment we lose faith, hope, and trust in God, we have already lost. Hebrews 6:13-20 are verses which I hope will open our eyes to realize how awesome and powerful our Lord is. Hebrews 6:13 When God made his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater for him to swear by, he swore by himself, 14 saying, "I will surely bless you and give you many descendants." 15 And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised. 16 Men swear by someone greater than themselves, and the oath confirms what is said and puts an end to all argument. 17 Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath. 18 God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged. 19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, 20 where Jesus, who went before us, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek. © Apr 2008 Shaun Lee. www.everynation.org.sg archive: www.shauntzen.blogspot.com
