Don’t Give Up Now

Hebrews 10:23 KJV
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

Oh man! Let me tell you! Life is so crazy right now. It looks like the enemy is winning. So many believers are barely holding on by a thread, waiting for the promises of God, any of the promises of God to be made manifest in their lives. Hebrews 11:1 says, Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. It’s getting harder to hold on to our faith while hoping or to hold on to hope with our faith. Does that make sense? It just feels, some days, like it would just be easier to let go and go back into the world. Nobody said that following Christ would be easy, but they never said it would be this heard either. Let’s just be honest. If you are trying to live for Christ and follow his commands and be a willing vessel, it feels like you’re always under attack. It feels like the test or trial is never going to pass. It feels like as soo as one storm passes another comes right on it’s heels. It feels like the more you cry out, the less God answers. Trust me I definitely have moments when I feel like that. Feeling confused, like you have no idea what it is God wants from you. Like you thought you understood the assignment and then you realize you absolutely did not.

Trying to stand grounded and rooted in the word. Trying to stay in prayer and in the presence of the Lord. Trying desperately to walk out your calling like you thought you heard him tell you to. Feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders as you watch the end times play out, something you never thought you would see in your lifetime. Feeling lost and heartbroken by all the truly lost that don’t know Jesus.

We have to hold on. We have to hold on to his promises. We have to believe that his word is true. It is the only way to make it through these perilous times of persecution and judgment going forth throughout the land. He is faithful. He is ever faithful. May not be in our timing. May not be the way we want it done, but his plan has been since the beginning of time and it won’t change just because we don’t like it or because we think it’s taking too long. Everything has a time, a place, a reason and a season. We just have to stand firm and be patient. He will make all things known in his timing; never wavering, because he is faithful to those that are faithful to him.
