Day 346
Hebrews 10:23
"Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)"
The author of Hebrews admonished us to hold firmly the profession or confession of our faith because of the faithfulness of God. We need to focus more on the fact that God is faithful than we do on holding fast to our confession. It is the understanding of His faithfulness that enables us to remain steadfast in our profession of faith.
If we were holding onto a rope, waiting for someone to come and rescue us and had no idea if anyone was coming, we might get weary, give up and let go. On the other hand, if we knew someone was doing all they could to get there, we would hold on until they arrived or until we could hold no longer.
If we were waiting for a ride and the driver was late picking us up, we would decide based on the driver's faithfulness rather to continue waiting or to find other transportation.
If we knew the driver was the type, who upon realizing he was late, wouldn't show up at all, especially ifhe were pressed for time to get to another appointment, we would immediately look for another ride. But if we knew the driver would pick us up, even if he had to cancel an appointment or alter his schedule, more than likely, we would not move, but wait until he arrived.
How tenaciously we profess our faith depends on how we view God and His faithfulness. So, let us study and mediate on the faithfulness of God. That will enable us to stand steadfast on what He has promised us. We would not want to insult Him by giving up.
I will study about and meditate on the faithfulness of God. Knowing and understanding His faithfulness will enable me to hold fast to my profession of faith without wavering.
