Hold Fast

 Hold Fast

Guest Blog by Gary Riedel

S - SCRIPTURE:

Revelation 3:11 Hold fast what you have so that no one may take your crown.

O - OBSERVATION: 

This was actually written to the church at Philadelphia, but is very good advice for each individual follower of Jesus. As believers in Jesus we will inherit a Crown of Life, the message is of course to hold it tightly always on our guard against the wiles of the devil. Jesus won the victory over the devil, and we can therefore hold fast to the Crown of Life!

A - APPLICATION: 

An interesting coincidence is that October the 17th was my late father’s birthday. One of the most meaningful things he did with his last conscious breathes was sing 4 verses of “Praise to the Lord the Almighty.” That’s an example of  “Holding Fast” that I will always remember! May each of us “Hold Fast” until our last hour comes.

P - PRAYER: 

Gracious Father, please help your people to always “Hold Fast” to Your Word and Your Truths until the end. In Jesus Name, Amen
