Anchored in Hope
We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain.—Hebrews 6:19 (NIV)
For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness.—2 Peter 1:5-6 NIV
The holidays can test your self-control, whether it’s indulging in a rich dessert or overspending on an extravagant gift. When you feel tempted, rely on “God’s will” power. Focus on the person God wants you to be and ask for His help. You can overcome any temptation.
Lord, renew the gift of self-control within me. Help me to be the person You want me to be.

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain.—Hebrews 6:19 (NIV)

“Sun, stand still over Gibeon, and you, moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.” So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped till the nation avenged itself on its enemies as it is written in the Book of Jashar.—Joshua 10:12–13 (NIV)

But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.—Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)
