Have you ever
called the customer care center of a telecommunication service provider and you
were asked to hold on while your call is transferred to the next available
agent? Sometimes the holding on period might be more than 5 minutes, but you
still keep on holding on all because you have an issue and you need it
resolved.
There is a
story in 1 Samuel 1 about Aunty Hannah. She was her husband’s delight, but she
was barren. The other wife was productive and had her own children, and as a
result she started mocking Hannah. However, Bible says in verse 7 of that chapter
that Hannah year by year went up to the house of the Lord. She held on to her
God.
How many
times have you had to want to just run away from those challenges? many times
have you had to ask yourself if truly God cares? Sometimes we are so weighed down
by life’s challenges that we just want to run away or just discard the dream of
a big and beautiful life, however, running away does not take away the
challenge, sometimes it magnifies it.
No matter
what you are going through, hold on to Jesus. That man said, “I will not let
thee go, until thou bless me.” He was too determined to be distracted. Heb
10:23 says, “Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering;
(for he is faithful that promised;).” Excuse me sir, there are wonderful
promises for you and I from God, but patience is key. Uncle Job could have
cursed God and die, but He knew perfectly well that he that holds on to God,
never ever gets disappointed.
I understand
you have been holding on for a while now, but please hold on for a little while
more. Your testimony is around the corner. Don’t give up on God, He has never
disappointed before and He won’t start with you.
