In Hebrews 10:23, the author continues with another "let us" statement when he is inspired to write, "Let us hold fast the confession of hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful". This verse will be the basis for today's short thoughts. As the Hebrew believers were, so are we challenged with these words written so many years ago. We are called to believe and trust Him. In our confession of hope, He calls us to hold fast to it without wavering. The passage seems to acknowledge our tendency, in the weakness of the flesh, to waiver. But we are admonished towards steadfastness. The key? To remain mindful of His faithfulness.
Perhaps there is nothing that gives the believer hope and sustains that hope more than the faithfulness of God. Without question and without exception, God is faithful! He has promised us etemallife. We have it. He promised to send the Helper. He sent Him. He promised to build His church. He is building it. He promised that He would prepare a place for us. This special place awaits us. He promised to come again and receive us unto Himself. That day draws nearer each hour. He promised that there will come a day when we will be with Him and "so shall we ever be with the Lord". Oh, what a hope is ours!
In our "conviction of things not seen", let us hold fast our confession of hope. The hope that we have in Christ and the summary of all truth that is found in Him. May He be our reason for steadfastness of faith.
