Welcome to Enjoying Everyday Life with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series, filled with hope.

Hope is the confident expectation that something good is going to happen to us and through us.

But it's very important we have our hope set in the right place.

We can place hope in many things, only hope in our faithful heavenly father and his promises to us and his word will bring about the blessings he has for us

Now here's Joyce with today's teaching

This anchor of the soul. I think it's very important Now here's Joyce with today's teaching.

This anchor of the soul, I think it's very important

to unpack this a little bit, and let's not just look at it like this,

yes, he's the anchor of my soul.

What does that mean? So here we know what an anchor is. When you want

a boat to stay a certain place in the water, you drop the anchor.

Because if you don't, it's going to float away.

But when you drop the anchor, although it can still go a little bit in each direction, it can only go so far.

And so then maybe, you know, you try to go over here in this direction a little bit.

Oh, it only goes so far.

And God has given us hope as the anchor of our soul. What does that mean? That means when I've got the

promise of God and I'm believing and my mind goes crazy because I'm tired and

worn out and I've waited a long long time and my mind says you're not ever going to get it

God this is not for you everybody else gets blessed but you don't you might as well quit and give up

Wait a minute. There's that God of hope again.

Pulling me back to say, no, this is for you.
