“For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love…” Hebrews 6:10 KJV)
There are seasons when faith feels like a slow climb, where you’re still praying, still serving, still showing up, but you wonder if anything is actually moving. You’re not quitting… but you’re tired of carrying hope like it’s fragile. Hebrews 6 speaks into that tension with a steady word: Grow up, Go forward, Hold tight, because God is faithful.
This chapter is a holy nudge for women who love God sincerely but sometimes live like the promise depends on them. It calls us to take God seriously, to stop treating His Word like a suggestion and to rest with confidence that what He started in you, He intends to finish.
Genesis 18 -21 shows us that Sarah knew what it was to wait while the calendar turned. God spoke a promise to her, “You will have a son”, but time kept passing, and her body kept aging. There were moments she tried to “help” the promise along, moments she laughed because it sounded too late to be true, moments she probably wondered if God had forgotten her address.
Yet Scripture shows that God kept working even while Sarah waited. The promise didn’t expire because the process took long. When the appointed time came, Isaac’s cry filled the tent. Proving that delay is not denial and that God’s faithfulness is not fragile.
Hebrews 6 reminds us: your timeline doesn’t cancel His truth. The God who promised is not playing with you. He is not careless with your life. He is finishing what He started.
Hope in God is like an anchor dropped deep beneath the surface. When storms hit, you don’t always see what’s holding you, especially when the waves are loud and your emotions are high. But the anchor isn’t doing its job on the surface; it’s doing its job down deep, where it grips something solid.
Hebrews 6 says hope is “an anchor of the soul.” Not an anchor for your mood, an anchor for your soul. Meaning: even if you feel shaky, you can be held steady. God’s promise is not a floating thought. It’s a settled truth.
Where have you been treating God’s promise like it’s optional, something you’ll believe “once you see it”? What would change if you took Him seriously enough to obey, even while you’re still waiting?
Prayer
Father, grow me up in faith. Forgive me for the times I’ve handled Your promises like they were uncertain, or lived like I had to carry the outcome alone. Teach me to take You seriously, Your Word, Your timing, Your ways. Anchor my soul in what You have spoken. When I feel tired, remind me that You are not unrighteous to forget my labor, my tears, my prayers, or my obedience. I receive Your strong consolation today: You cannot lie, You will not fail, and You will finish what You started in me.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
God is working in me, steadily, faithfully, completely. I will grow in faith, take Him seriously, and rest confidently: He will finish what He started.
