“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.” Hebrews 10:23 (NIV)
These words challenge us to persist in our confidence in our God. Notice the word “unswervingly.” Imagine we are in a vehicle and as we travel down the road we begin to notice things off the road that capture our attention maybe even cause us to worry or fear. We begin to swerve to the right and then to the left because we have taken our eyes off our path. In front our road is clearly marked but our attention is on things off to the sides of the road. “Unswervingly” means without wavering, that there is not the slightest sign of wavering when we think of what God has promised. We do not entertain the slightest hesitation about believing what God has said. The basis for this kind of faith and hope is in the unquestioned faithfulness of God. We can be unswerving because God is unswerving. He will keep His promises so let us hold on to that fact, and keep our eyes on the path God has made straight for us. If we know He is faithful we can be tenacious, holding firmly to His promises.
