Meditating this morning on the powerful exhortation in Hebrews 10:23 where the Holy Spirit through God-knows-who tells us to “hold on unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.” A 30 yr old friend told me yesterday that the power in her car shut off inexplicably going full speed on I-45, one of the freakiest freeways in Houston. She described how terrifying it was for the cars, pickups & 18-wheelers, for the love, to swerve around her. You can imagine. She said the sound was deafening. She obviously lived to tell about it and, though young in faith, knows the Lord kept her. There is such madness and chaos swerving around us in this era. Deafening noise. We don’t know if it will let up or not. But what we can know is this: the Lord will not let up. His hold on us is firm. We’re in his palm, safe and secure. His goodness and holiness cannot wear off. He is utterly incapable of unfaithfulness. In this day when everything is shaking and almost nothing about the landscape seems recognizable, brother and sister, hold on to the hope you profess. HOLD FIRM. Tighten your grip on that wheel. Straight ahead. We may feel we know absolutely nothing else but if we know Jesus, we know—I said we KNOW—we are held and nothing can snatch us out of his Father’s hand. We can know when we’re down and feel like the future is bleak that, no matter what, whether here or There, our best days are to come in the renewal of all things. As Jude wrote, we are beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ.
