My Morning with God- Hebrews 6:18-19

📖 Anchored — A Devotional from Hebrews 6:18–19

“That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation,

who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast…” — Hebrews 6:18–19 (KJV)

🌊 The Weekend Warrior

This weekend was not ordinary.

As a night shift nurse, I had already been awake for more than 24 hours. On Saturday, I served as a caregiver and servant at a homegoing service for one of my pastors—a man of faith who finished his race with dignity. By Sunday morning, exhaustion sat on my shoulders, and grief pressed on my chest.

Physically, I couldn’t be in the building at The City Worship Center. But spiritually, I was reaching for strength.

So I did what the anchored soul does: I went back and listened to the Word online.

Pastor Willie Diggs preached a message titled “Anchored”—and the Word met me right where I was.

⚓ When Life Rocks You, Anchor Yourself in What Cannot Move

Hebrews 6 reminds us that we serve a God who cannot lie.

Not will not—cannot.

His nature embodies and is rooted in truth.

His promises are settled. And no one can change them.

His Word is unshakable and we can probably stand on them.

Because of this, Scripture says we have “strong consolation”—a deep comfort that doesn’t evaporate under pressure.

This hope becomes “an anchor for the soul.”

An anchor doesn’t stop the waves from coming…

but it does stop the ship from drifting.

And that’s where many of us live—between waves we didn’t expect and storms that came sooner than we were ready for.

This weekend, my body was tired. My heart was a little heavy . My responsibilities were heavy. But your anchor held.

⛓️ The Anchor Works Best in Deep Water

Anchors aren’t needed in shallow places.

You don’t need one when the water is low, when life feels manageable, when everything is predictable.

Anchors are built for depth.

For storms.

For long nights.

For the moments when grief, duty, service, and sacrifice collide.

It’s in the deep that hope grips harder.

It’s in the deep that God reveals He is steady.

It’s in the deep that you discover you are not drifting—you are held fast and unmovable.

📌 God Doesn’t Promise Calm Seas… But He Promises a Steady Soul

Sometimes the strongest believers are the ones who worship tired, serve while grieving, and cling to God when their strength is gone.

The Lord showed up this weekend—

in the facility,

in service to others,

and in my spirit—even when I couldn’t be physically in the sanctuary.

And God showed up for me and he will for you too.

Through the Word.

Through the livestream.

Through His unchanging promises.

The anchor didn’t fail.

It never fails.

🙏 Prayer: Lord, Keep Me Anchored

Father, I thank You that Your promise is unchangeable and Your Word is sure.

When life’s waves rise and my strength runs low, remind me that hope in You holds me steady.

Anchor my soul in Your truth. Anchor my emotions in Your peace. Anchor my purpose in Your presence.

Thank You for being the God who cannot lie and who never lets me drift. create in me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me.

Amen.

🕊️ Reflection

What storm, responsibility, or emotional weight are you facing today that requires you to drop anchor and trust God fully?

Write it down, release it to the Father, and remind your soul:

“My hope is anchored in Him. Sure and steadfast.”
