Why?

Why? 

Questions asked in the dark have a way of bringing me into light. 

Instead of fear closing in, I draw near.

Up close and personal. 

To the One who knows all.

Step by step

In the midst of overwhelming challenges, we hold on to basic exhortations from Scripture. For clarity. And courage. 

Maybe we’re wading in the rising tide of a pandemic. Or standing in the battle against racism and injustice, praying, “…let justice flow like water and righteousness like an unfailing stream” (Amos 5:24). 

Hebrews 10 instructs us. Step by step.

Confession of our hope

This past week, the stories surface. Continually. Through emails. Personal posts. Press releases. 

Believers holding on to the confession of our hope.

I’m watching for this. The declaration. The profession. The holding fast of Hebrews 10:23. “Let us hold on to the confession of our hope without wavering, since He who promised is faithful.”

And all week long, I hear them.

Their confessions affirm what is real. True. We are sure of what we hope for. Certain of what we do not see.
