Confession

Hebrews 10:23
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful…

Hold our hope.  That’s the imperative here in this verse.  So just how do we hold our hope?

One way is through confession. It’s good that we say aloud that our hope is in Jesus.  It’s good for us to hear our own voices declaring the truth.

One way is through recalling his faithfulness.  When we remind ourselves of the goodness of God in our lives, in the lives of our kids, in our daily walk, it builds our faith.

It’s easy to look around us, watch the news, listen to co-workers and friends, and experience life – and become hopeless.  What we see with our eyes and hear with our ears in a given day can weigh us down.

Confessing our hope in the One who is faithful is a necessary, daily, practice that will ensure that we and those in our family stand firm and don’t fall.

What are you confessing today?
