1 Thessalonians 5:21 ESV "but test everything; hold fast what is good."You don't just jump off a building without checking the rope first! Today's Word speaks to us about testing and holding to what is good. It was rookie school and we were learning to repel. Standing on the top of the building and looking down was one thing but climbing over the edge is quite another. Before we even thought of going over the edge, we made sure the rope was in good shape, the clasps were all clipped and we had all the safety gear on. In life, it may feel as if we are about to go over the edge. That things seem hopeless, it's then we need to hold on to what is good and that's God, His Word, His Son, and the Holy Spirit. These people are our safety gear, our strength when things seem hopeless or we are too afraid to take the next step - hold on to Them, for they are good! peace, tom
