HOLDING ON WITH UNWAVERING HOPE
Christian hope is confident hope. For Christian hope is based on the promises of God. Since this hope is anchored to God’s promises we can be assured that our hope will not be disappointed. For God is faithful. So rather than hanging on to the temporal things we can see, let us hold tightly to the eternal things of God that are presently unseen. For one day soon, they will surely be seen.
So hold on tightly to hope. And if your grip weakens, ask the Spirit of the Lord to strengthen your hands. For the Spirit helps us in our weakness (Rom. 8:26).
PRAYER: Dear Father, we hold tightly to the hope we have in Your Son, Jesus Christ. For our hope is anchored to Your Promised One. We believe He died for our sins, was buried, raised from the dead, ascended and is coming again. Our hope is anchored in Him and in His promised return. Strengthen our grip on this hope, so that we might serve You with an unwavering hope. In Jesus’ name, amen.
