Navigating the vast ocean of life can be daunting. But when we realize God is steering the boat, diving into the deep becomes less scary. Our verse today reminds us that in Jesus, our soul has an anchor of hope. Nothing can break it and nothing can take it away. It is sure, certain, and safe. It is steadfast, firm, and reliable. It is housed within the veil of the heavenly temple, where the very presence of God dwells.
Why is it important for us to know that our hope is anchored in the holy of holies, where God's glory resides? It is completed by verse 20. As our forerunner, Jesus entered the holy of holies on our behalf. From birth to death, He ran the race of human life and rose triumphantly from the dead. Following in His footsteps gives us an ­anchor for our souls. Our hope for a new life after death comes from the fact that Jesus lived, died, and rose again.
Through His infinitely precious blood and His indestructible life, Jesus entered the holy of holies once and for us all. Even when we don't know it all, we can have hope in the finished work of Jesus Christ our High Priest that lasts forever.

Dear Heavenly Father, while I face so many uncertainties in my life today, I know You are trustworthy, and I can always rely on You. Thank You for giving us hope in Jesus Christ, through whom I have gained access to Your holy presence. I am at peace knowing that the future You promised is sure and secured. Keep my mind, heart, and soul anchored in You when the waves of life are high and threatening. Let my heart overflow with hope regardless of the circumstances. I put my faith and trust in You, Lord. 
In Jesus's name I pray. Amen.
