But you need to stick it out, staying with God’s plan so you’ll be there for the promised completion. Hebrews 10:36 (MSG)
Holding on isn’t just waiting to see how things will turn out. It isn’t waiting passively until something happens. It is not just continuing to do whatever you’re doing hoping for change.
Scriptural holding on is staying with God’s plan.
Before you can effectively hold on you need to first find out what to hold on to.
To rightly hold on in any circumstance, condition or crisis is to lay hold of and stay with God’s plan.
Everything and everyone except God is subject to change. Because God doesn’t change even His plan doesn’t change.
Therefore we should always hold on by staying with God’s unchanging plan.
What’s the plan of God in any situation? It’s the truth of what He has said in His Word and what He continues to say by His Spirit in us.
Hold on, till you see your expectations come to pass by holding onto the truth of God’s Word.
Staying convinced of and acting in agreement with the Word of God is how we hold on to the realization of victory. Jesus told Jairus to hold on when people came from the home of this synagogue leader telling him not to trouble the Master because his daughter had died. In telling Jairus not to fear but only believe, Jesus was encouraging this man to hold on to what He had spoken to him at the beginning when the daughter was still sick. Jesus had told Jairus that He was going to heal his daughter. The fact that the daughter had died while Jesus was on His way to heal her didn’t change the mission of restoring her to life. Mark 5:22-24, 35- 43. Regardless of what has happened or is happening God’s original intent and mission of causing all of His goodness to come to pass in your life hasn’t stopped or changed. So hold on by holding onto the truth of God’s Word concerning you and your situation.
