Hold firm

Morning: Psalm 6, 12; Jeremiah 15:10-21; Philippians 3:15-21
Evening: Psalms 94; John 12:20-26
My high school motto is: Quod Tuum Tene, “What you have, hold.” It’s today’s verse from Philippians, in Latin. I thought it selfish until I realized it meant more.  Sometimes when you long for the good to triumph, you can lose heart … but God promises strength to those who hold firm.  When discouragement gets into you, “hold fast to what you have (already) attained.” Ah, that’s what it means! It’s not about things … On the contrary, it’s actually about being ready to let go of everything, while hanging on to the courage that comes from serving God.
