HOLD ON

No matter what we face, or go through, just hold on, knowing that Jesus said I am the same, yesterday, today and forever. I do not change. I will never leave you nor forsake you. 

Hold on to His words, hold on to Jesus, know that he is there with us, and he’s there for us.

Hold-- to take or keep in the hands or arms. To keep in a certain place. Not lose or let go of.

We are to quick to let go of what God has done for us. Battles come, and we wonder what are we going to do. Not looking or holding on to the one that says “I will take you through all of this.”

We don’t have to worry, we just got to hold on to the Lord. His hand is outstretched, grab ahold of his hand and hold on. No storm, no trial, no battle, or nothing can take you away if you hold on and hang on.

Isaiah 26:3; Thou will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trusts in thee.

If we walk in perfect peace, nothing will bother us, we can overcome anything that comes our direction.

Psalm 139:10; Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

It seems like the battles are getting harder, and we don’t know what each one is going through, but we know that we have got to hold on! We can’t give up, and we pray one for another, and God does answer prayers, and he will take care of us. If you have to walk through the fire, hold on, don’t bow to the wiles and lies of the enemy.

Hebrews 4:14; Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession (confession).

Revelation 2:25; But that which you have already, hold fast till I come.

Hold fast to what God has already given you, he’s given you life, peace, a mind to serve him. 

He’s helping us, he’s holding on to us, there’s nothing too hard for God.

God moves by faith, trust him and hold on to him!

Matthew 24:12-13; And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold, but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

James 5:11; Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord, that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.

The enemy will come to your mind when things get so hard and tell you that God isn’t going to do this for you, but we know that the devil is a liar. God will do what he said, he is faithful. Just hold on, 

What a mighty God we serve, hold on to his hand, don’t let go. When it seems like there is no end to the road you are on, just continue to walk this straight and narrow and hold on to God’s hand, he will lead you, and walk with you. Don’t let anything get in the way between you and God. HOLD ON!
