For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, Saying
to you, Fear not, I will help you. Isaiah 41:13
I just read a post on Facebook that read: “Sometimes God
holds you back temporarily until the road is safe and clear to continue. Be
thankful for the stall.” This reminded me of today’s verse. I envision holding God’s
hand, like a parent holds his child’s hand. That child wants to run off, yet
the parent firmly grips their hand and keeps them from danger, because their
view is taller than the child’s and they have years of wisdom to know when its
safe to move forward.
As a child of God, we are so blessed to have the Holy Spirit
living inside of us! He provides guidance, wisdom and keeps us safe when we are
navigating life. Sometimes though, we become preoccupied with worldly things
and will pull away from His hand of safety. That’s when we are vulnerable to Satan
and his attacks on our life.
The best ingredient for a safe and secure life is to trust
in the hand that holds you. When God holds you back, be patient. He knows what’s
up ahead and wants to protect you from disaster. His vision goes much further
than you limited view! And believe me, He has your best interest at heart. He
loves you and wants to protect you from the whiles of Satan. Grip God’s hand firmly,
always keep an ear to His Holy Spirit when He offers wisdom and be patient as
you take each step forward thru life! God will get you across that busy
intersection when its safe to do so! God bless!
