Hold On!

"I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold to what you have until I come."  Revelation 2:24-25

​The church in Thyatira was struggling.  They were under persecution.  Some have fallen to false teaching.  Others have remained faithful.  Jesus encourages the faithful ones.  He doesn't demand great works or noble acts from them.  He simply encourages them to be faithful:  "Hold to what you have."  He promises them several things including "the morning star."

Sometimes we find ourselves in difficult situations.  We may a have great desire to accomplish many things for the Lord.  But our immediate circumstances don't permit it.  We should not be discouraged.  In these times the best we can do is to "hold on."  Jesus understands that.  He knows that when a storm strikes our first priority is survival.

God doesn't ask more from us than we can give.  He won't impose a heavy burden.  Instead he encourages us to stand strong where we are.  He will reward our faithfulness.

Are you discouraged in your circumstances?  Do you feel you are not doing enough when your circumstances won't permit you to do more?  Take comfort in the Lord's presence with you.  Stand strong until the time comes when you will be given opportunity.
