Have you ever had those moments that you questioned, that you wondered if it would ever be possible? If you are a Christian there is no doubt that you have experienced this a time or two. This morning I was reading my devotional and it was about Waiting, Trusting and Hoping and when you meditate on these three words its almost impossible not seeing how the three intertwine.
Trusting is the center cord that holds the three together. Waiting and hope strengthen the cord. When we wait and have our eyes upon Jesus we are acknowledging that we trust in Him. My words of encouragement today is don’t waiver or go faint for God cannot tell a lie.
In Hebrews 6:13-20 it reads God made a promise to Abraham. Since he had no one greater on whom to base his oath, he based it on himself. He said, “I will certainly bless you and give you many descendants.” So Abraham received what God promised because he waited patiently for it.
When people take oaths, they base their oaths on someone greater than themselves. Their oaths guarantee what they say and end all arguments. God wouldn’t change his plan. He wanted to make this perfectly clear to those who would receive his promise, so he took an oath. God did this so that we would be encouraged.
God cannot lie when he takes an oath or makes a promise. These two things can never be changed. Those of us who have taken refuge in him hold on to the confidence we have been given. We have this confidence as a sure and strong anchor for our lives. This confidence goes into the holy place behind the curtain where Jesus went before us on our behalf. He has become the chief priest forever in the way Melchizedek was a priest.
