He is Faithful “Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful”. Hebrews 10:23 NIV

Sometimes we do our best but others misunderstand and hate us. And sometimes we do what is right and others persecute us because it goes against their interests. Nothing tests our faith more than to see the righteous suffer and the wicked prosper.  This is why some people are afraid to profess their faith openly. However, we are exhorted to persevere and be steadfast in our hope and make known to others our testimony through both word and deed. Fellowship with other believers is also important because it helps to support and encourage us.

We need to be pure and holy and derive our comfort from the grace of God and his promises and not be influenced by worldly approval or the fear of persecution.

We must always remember that there is someone who loves us and sees our hearts and intentions. He always understands and supports us in furthering God’s purpose. His assurance is our hope and security.

When you feel the world is against you, hold firm to what you belief is true. God is faithful and will come to you.
