“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.”

Promise: God promises us a solid hope that we may cling to in Christ.

I looked up swerve in the dictionary and it means: to turn aside or cause to turn aside from a straight line. When I think of this in biblical terms, it means I need to hold onto what I have in Christ and not become sidetracked. What do I have in Christ that is worth holding onto when the world swirls around me? Faith in Christ gives me hope, salvation, eternal life, and the Holy Spirit, who indwells me. He is with me each and every day. He provides me with love, peace, assurance, and guidance through His Word. I can have a personal relationship with Almighty God. What earthly thing can compare to the riches I have in Christ?

Lessons and Truths:

1.God is faithful.

2.God gives me hope for my life now and a future through Christ.

3.God desires that I cling to Jesus, my hope, without wavering.

4.Faith enables me to stand firm during the hard times in life.

Prayer: Lord, thank you for sending Jesus to die on the cross for my sins and for bringing me into a right relationship with you. My hope in Christ brings eternal hope and assurance that I will be with you in heaven. I can experience a better quality of life here and now through Him. Cause me to love you more each day and trust, completely, in your great faithfulness. Amen.
