Hold fast to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.

Revelation 3:11

There is a time in our walk with the Lord to press forward in faith.  There is a time, as asserted in this passage, when we need to simply hold fast, we would say “Hold on” to what we already have!  Grip tighter the fact that God loves us and our lives now and in the future are in his loving, redeeming hands.

This is the secret that all believers carry, the secret that keeps us going.  I am almost 91 years old and I am learning the lesson of allowing God to grip me even more when I am passing through demanding times. Want to know?  This is the way!  There is no other.  I depend only on Jesus, my Lord and Savior.

No none can take that away.  God hovers over that commitment with all his saving power.  I live and rest on that knowledge as I “hold fast” to what I gripped for over 70 years!  Praise God that I have today, the Lord’s Day, to praise Him with loud acclamations.
