TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
"Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for He is faithful that promised"
Hebrews 10:23
TODAY'S WORD:
"Hold fast" is not a phrase we often use in this culture. But in the original Greek, hold fast means not only to embrace, but to embrace with force as if someone is trying to take something from you. In other words, you've got to have a firm grip or you're going to lose out! And notice what we are supposed to hold fast to — our profession, our declaration of faith.
I like to think of it sort of like a tug of war. You're on one end and the enemy is on the other. He's trying to pull that rope out of your hand. He's trying to steal your hope and get you to speak negative words of doubt and unbelief. But you've got to be determined and stand strong.We as a church family need to grab hold and help one another as I tell you there is strength in numbers.
Selah people' and friends you've got to persevere and hold fast. Don't let the enemy pull the seed of faith out of your heart! You might need to dig your heals in and get a new grip, but don't you dare let go! Keep speaking words of faith. Keep speaking words of hope. Keep declaring God's Word and keep holding fast to the profession of your faith!
OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:
"Father in heaven, today I choose to hold fast to my profession of faith in You. I know that You are faithful, and I believe that You will complete everything that You've started in my life. I bless You and magnify You above all else. In Jesus' name, Amen."
In Christ service,
