Hebrews 4:14 "Since then we have a great high priest who has passed though the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession."
What is it that gives you strength to hold on when everything inside you is telling you that it's hopeless? Jesus has "been there, done that", persevered on our behalf. Now He is seated victoriously at the Father's right hand, and He is interceding on our behalf.
Southern California's coastal waters are renowned for their massive kelp beds. I love scuba diving in the forests of giant kelp off the Catalina coast. Some of the kelp is over a hundred feet tall. What is is that keeps these beautiful plants from drifting away with the storms and the tides? Each kelp stem (or "stipe") has a root-like anchor at it's base called a "holdfast". The holdfast secretes a glue-like substance that anchors the kelp to the rocky bottom. The key to the stability of the kelp is what it is anchored to. It must be solid and able to hold through the most difficult of circumstances.
I can "hang in there" today, regardless of the storms that may threaten and the battles that rage, because I am anchored to a solid foundation. I will hold fast my confession of faith in Jesus because He has already won the battle and secured the victory. I will praise Him today and claim the victory in Jesus' mighty Name!
