The thought for today....


The thought for today is --- HOLD FAST
Hold Fast in the Greek gives this definition:
1) to hold back, detain, retain
a) from going away
b) to restrain, hinder (the course or progress of)
1) that which hinders, Antichrist from making his appearance
2) to check a ship's headway i.e. to hold or head the ship
c) to hold fast, keep secure, keep firm possession of
2) to get possession of, take
b) to possess

It resonates a posture of strength and allowing God to be our resolute protector with our commitment of steadfastness.

It's something that is doable.
Every way that God's Word instructs us is doable, else He wouldn't have given us the directive, right? :)

He's enabled us to be overcomers IN THIS LIFE. We will batten down the hatches and secure the main sail of our own lives and walk in the victory that Jesus purchased for us. In Jesus' Name.

Philippians 1:27
Only let your conversation be as it becomes the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel

Father, thank You for overcoming victory. HELP US to live and move and have our being in YOU. Thank You for the instruction that You've given us in your Word, it's our LIFE, and STRENGTH - Help Us to draw upon it, and to be ANCHORED IN IT. In Jesus' Name.
