Tenacious.... I won't let go.

The soundtrack:


Let's talk....

Today's word is Tenacious. (tə-nā'shəs)
The American Heritage Dictionary defines the adjective tenacious as:

1. Holding or tending to hold persistently to something, such as a point of view.
2. Holding together firmly; cohesive
   
3. Clinging to another object or surface; adhesive
   
4. Tending to retain; retentive

'Hold fast', 'Don't give up', these are phrases that call for tenacity or a tenacious spirit. The tenacious person won't let anything move them away from the principles they hold.

In this day and age it's hard to find people who hold fast to the principles of God. Oh, people are tenacious alright - but they tend to hold fast to their point of view, not God's.
There is a great need for tenacious Christians today. 'Go with the flow' often leads to a quick trip over a cliff. We have to learn to stand for what we believe.
The writer of Hebrews put it this way:
Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

Hold fast.

We'll talk....
