HOLD FAST

Hebrews 10:23-25

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

Personal challenge

If I have learned anything in my years of life, it is that you have to hold on tight to those things that are good and worth having. I have also learned that the process of holding on often includes the help of others in our life. We are charged by the writer of Hebrews to hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering. Our hope is Jesus. He is who we hold fast to. He is our source of hope. We are also charged to consider one another so as to stir up love and good works, assemble with others, and exhort one another. This is where these others can help us as we hold fast to our confession of hope. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
