Hold On

Happy New Year guys! First devotion of the New Year, hopefully it speaks to someone! Just something I want to share with you this week is standing firm in your faith and holding on to the truth!


Have you ever had a day were you just felt that everything was against you? Maybe you’ve had a day at school were everything went wrong and you began to wonder why God let it happen to you. Well you’re not alone!

In 2 Thessalonians, it seems that the church was being taught some things that weren’t true and they were becoming discouraged. As believers they needed to stand firm in their faith! In Thessalonians 2: 15 Paul tells the church to stand firm and keep a strong grip on the teaching that he passed on to them.

You may not be able to believe everything you read on the internet or hear on T.V. but you can believe everything that the bible teaches. In 2 Thessalonians Paul tells the church to stay committed to what they know is true and not to be swayed by anything else. God’s desire for us is to stand firm and hold on to the truth, no matter what the cost. When people challenge what you believe, stand firm and hold on to what is true!

Jesus tells us in John 8: 31-32 “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”  No matter who challenges you, no matter what they say to you, hold on to what the bible teaches! Only the truth can set you free! The Bible is the truth!
