Scripture Reading
Hebrews 10:23
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.
Reflection
"Hold fast" suggests there will be forces trying to loosen our grip. The writer does not promise a hope that costs nothing to maintain — he promises that it is worth holding onto, because it is anchored in a God who does not waver even when we do. When circumstances argue against hope, the argument on the other side is: he who promised is faithful.
Prayer for Today
Lord, I want to be filled with Your courage and strength. I want to live by every word that comes from Your mouth and speak boldly about what You can and will do.
The threats against my marriage are wimpy compared to Your great power.
Joshua put his godless enemies to death. He listened to Your voice and obeyed You.
You gave him authority to accomplish Your will. He commanded the sun to stand still, and You made it happen for the glory of Your name and the protection of Your people.
Teach me, Lord, to exercise the authority You have given me. Train me to hear Your voice and respond without hesitation.
Make me brave. Use me to war against the enemies of our marriage in prayer using the Sword of Your Spirit.
I believe You are able, Lord. Please help my unbelief.
With faith in Jesus' blood and righteousness, I pray.
Amen
