Something to Hold on To
Something to Hold on To
“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.” Hebrews 10:23 NIV
How many of you remember playing tug of war in gym class? It was physical game in which two opposing teams compete in a test of strength and endurance by pulling on opposite ends of a rope, aiming to drag the other team a specific distance or across a center line. This game dates back over 4,000 years, the game has roots in ancient Egypt, China, and Greece. It was even featured as an official Olympic sport from 1900 to 1920. Today, it remains a heavily competitive organized sport governed by the Tug of War International Federation and is a staple event at The World Games.
When we need something firm to cling to, like that tug of war rope, the Scripture provides a steadfast anchor for our soul. Hold on tight friends, no matter what we are facing, we have King Jesus to help us. What season of life are you navigating right now? When everything feels heavy, these scriptures provide a reliable anchor. They remind us that we never walking through the storms alone. I dare you to call on Him.
Here are some other anchoring scriptures:
- Colossians 1:17 (NIV): “He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”
- Isaiah 41:13 (NIV): “For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, ‘Do not fear; I will help you.'”
- Psalm 46:1 (NIV): “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”
Keep holding on. God Knows what He’s doing! Make up your mind that no matter what comes your way, you will do more than just survive, you will thrive despite it all. Amen.
Remember friends, we are each other’s keeper and the only time we should be looking down on someone is when we are helping them up.
