Hold Firmly...

Hebrews 3:6 NIV
"But Christ is faithful as the Son over God's house. And we are his house, if indeed we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope in which we glory."

Christ is declared as the faithful Son of God over God's house, the church. Faithful; being obedient to God, being available for us, being our leader and our mentor, being all that we need. And all I need to do to recieve all that Christ offers me is to hold firmly; to be steady and true, in my confidence in Christ and His glory; in His radiance in this earth, His victory over death and sin, and in His ability to make me a new man. My hope is in Christ and Him alone. To you my Lord and my God be the glory. Amen.

Hold Firmly...

Titus 1:9 NIV
"He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it."

I must know scripture so that when the time is right I may use it to encourage and to refute. Lord help me to continue in my Bible readings and journaling and my prayer life. As Oswald said today "Prayer does not equip us for the greater work, prayer is the greater work." Lord to You be the glory.
