Hold Fast

I continue to read this fabulous book called “On Eagles Wings”. Today’s topic was Holding to God’s promises.

What the book explained based on Heb 10:23 “Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering: (for he who promised is faithful). Then it goes on explaining how an Eagle holds it’s pray.

Eagles are God’s favorite animal, that’s why he likens us with them so much. Eagles have a special looking mechanism on the tendon, which consist of a Friction Pad and Corrugations (see image) that makes the claw lock in and not let go. Eagles hold so thigh to their pray that sometimes, the just cut through them directly. But where I’m going here is that the Eagles are sometimes found dead on the side of rivers, with the fish on their claws. The fish was so big that they couldn’t carry it or the fish was so strong drowned the eagle.

The bird would rather die than release it’s hold, that’s what “holding fast” means, and that’s how bad God whats us to hold to his promises. So no matter how ugly the situation looks, so HOLD FAST, don’t stop believing, God never let down those who love him and trust him.
