This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast. Our life is a journey in an uncertain place in which we meet many trials and tribulations. We are weak in our human nature, and we are continuously in danger. The only secure anchor which can preserve us in this life is hope. This hope keeps us united to our Savior Jesus Christ.
Many people base their hopes and dreams on human and temporal things.
Soon they are disappointed and they reach spiritual despair. To these individuals life becomes hell on earth and a daily torment. The hope that is directed towards other men is never fulfilled. Many make promises and do not keep them. Many work hard in their lives in the hope of another man s promise and are let down in the end when it really counts.
