Hold Fast

I came across a scripture this week that was kind of vague, but nevertheless important to me. In Revelation 2:25 we read:

"But that which ye have already hold fast till I come."

It's short and kind of confusing at first, yes, but I felt impressed by it all the same. The context is Christ speaking about trials and enduring. In this particular verse, I feel He is reassuring us and giving us courage in our trials. He will come and relieve us, so we must hold fast and press on until he comes, and blessed be the day when He does.

I found this particularly striking because I have several friends who really struggle with depression and anxiety. It's difficult and many feel like just waking up is more than they can do. They can sink into very very low and dark places. This scripture, I feel, can be a salve to people in those situations. Yes, things are extremely difficult. Yes, it feels like the world is crashing down around us, but Christ will come. He will help us. He will carry us home. Just make it one more day, take it step by step, and hold fast until He comes.
