Do not let go of your grip on God

Hebrews 10:35-38

“Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.”

Let me interrupt the trend of our meditation in the past three days to bring this word of encouragement to you today. Do not let go of your grip on God. What is your grip on God, faith is your grip on God and as long as you have your grip tight God will deliver on His promises to you. Your faith is like a lifeline thrown to a drowning man from a boat. As long as he does not let go of the lifeline, he can be brought to shore but if he lets go of the lifeline, he will drown. You see God has already promised that He will not relax or lose His grip on you, so the onus is on you to keep holding on.

Heb 13:5

“…for He [God]  Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor  give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not,[I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor  let [you] down ( relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!]”

I heard a man of God say that God told him that once we believe He(God) is obligated to perform. So no matter the pressure on the outside telling you to throw in the towel keep holding on because your faith is destined to end up with a good report. In our text for meditation, it says he that shall come shall come, though he tarry. This means it is inevitable that your faith in God will deliver, so don’t give up, don’t lose your grip on God. Your faith is your lifeline, your grip on God. Hold on to it and it will bring you to the shore without fail.
