I love the Bible. I know that seems a silly thing to say. But, really. The Bible is God's way of reminding us that the devil is a liar, and He is Truth. It is that simple. How can I not be encouraged as I stumble upon this scripture flipping through the pages of Hebrews....
"God is not unjust; He will not forget your work and the love you have shown Him...We want each of you to how this same diligence to the very end, in order to make your hope sure. We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.... because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of His purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, He confirmed it with an oath. God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged. We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where Jesus, who went before us, has entered on our behalf..."
I really am going to meditate on that a while... hope as an anchor. firm and secure. greatly encouraged... it all seems to be something I would love to lay hold of again. There is a small corner of my heart that still beats with hope. It is time to pursue that small place. Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Praise Him all creatures here below.... Ah His Name IS Great and greatly to be praised!
