Today's short thoughts will combine the two verses of scripture found in Hebrews 6:17-18. Here the author writes, "In the same way God, desiring even more to show to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of His purpose, interposed with an oath, in order that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have strong encouragement, we who have fled for refuge in laying hold of the hope set before us."
It is hard to read this without asking the question; "Have you laid hold of the hope set before you?" We must lay hold of it and keep clinging to it through this life. Our hope, which again is founded on the One who cannot lie, the unchangeable One, is where we will find "strong encouragement. In this world, where we dwell but for a time, much discouragement surrounds us each and every day. Praise God that he has provided a place of refuge in His Son, and that we can rely upon "the unchangeableness of His purpose" as we anticipate the fulfillment of His promises.
