Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works.
Hebrews 10:23-24 NLT
Take a few minutes to reflect on the word trust. More specifically, think about the relationships you have in your life right now. Then think about the relationships that have drifted or changed over the years. What is one of the characteristics that has helped you maintain a solid relationship with someone?
Chances are trust is an important quality for you. Trust helps build a foundation and gives you an assurance that your words, and the words of others, are safe. Proverbs 18:21 (NLT) says: “The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences.” As Solomon wrote these words, he recalled a truth about relationships. Words can hurt or heal. Your words, and those of others, are powerful. But God’s are the most powerful of all.
Hebrews 10:23 encourages you to hold tightly, without wavering, to the hope you have because God can be trusted to keep His promises. In other words, God can be trusted to keep His word. Therefore, trust and hold on tight to Him.
Father, I’m so grateful for the power and hope found in Your words. Give me Your grace to hold on tight to Your promises.
