Hang In There




Hang In There...it might be tempting to dismiss those words as simplistic.

Hanging In There - the Bible calls it Perseverance - isn't possible through mere willpower. We preserve because God promised, over and over, that He's with us, that He'll give us strength and that He'll accomplish His purposes in our lives.

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

What does it take to Hang In There? According to Isaiah, the foundation for hope is God's character. Knowing God's goodness allows us to release our grip on fear so we can cling to the Father and His promise that He will provide what we need each day: Strength, Help and God's Comforting, Empowering and Upholding Presence.
