Read About It: Hebrews 10:23
Do you daydream about what you'd like to do in the years that lie ahead? Have you considered the possibility that these daydreams may in fact be the will of God for your life - dreams he placed deep down inside your spirit that are starting to be awakened? Is it possible that this is the timing for God's dream for your life to be ignited in your soul? ... When kata and echo are compounded into the word katecho, it literally means to embrace something tightly. However, because of the word kata, we know that this is the image of someone who finds the object of his dreams and then holds it down - taking control of it, dominating it - even sitting on it so it deosn't slip away! [ katecho in the above verse is "hold fast" - Megan ] ... This is the attitude you must have if you want to see your God-given dreams come to pass. you have to wrap your arms around that word from God and never stop believing and pursuing your dream until it comes to pass. If you'll katecho your dream, it won't be able to get away from you, nor will anyone else be able to take it away from you!
The word Katecho in Hebrews 10:23 could be interpreted this way:
"And let us hold fast to our confession, tightly wrapping our arms around it and embracing it with all our might, rejecting all attempts of anyone who tries to steal it from us..."
When you finally discover God's will for your life - when His plan finally begins to awaken in your heart and you know exactly what you are to do - hold fast to that dream. Tightly embrace what God has shown you. Seize it - wrap your arms of faith around it. Hold it down, and Hold it tight! -- Rick Renner, Sparkling Gems from the Greek (my copy arrived in the mail last week!)
