"HOLDING FAST"

"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful." ; Hebrews 10:23 NAS

Hang on everybody! The going is for sure going to be rough sometimes. What exactly is the “confession of our hope”? After all, that is what this verse says to hang onto. I believe it is our faith. Our faith that we are redeemed and that no matter what God has got us. The key here must be one of two things. The key is either that He who promises is faithful, or that we should not waiver. I am going with the latter. You see, life is made up of "flexibles and givens". It is given that we should hold fast. Good advice. We know we need to hang on, no question about it. We also understand what we hold on to. We hang on to the fact of our redemption. We confessed, He saved, and that is secure. Most confidently He is faithful. God changes not. He fails not. He is rock solid. The only “flexible” that is not a “given” in this whole verse is the “without wavering” part. There is the point of trouble for us. We waver. Life gives us what we get. God is who He is. Faith is what it is. God is faithful. So… how much do we waver? It is our choice, our decision. We can waver a lot or a little, depending on our mood and attitude. Indeed to be more unwavering about the fact that He is unwavering. That helps me hang on.

In Him,
Pastor Fred
