I’ll never forget the joy of holding my children’s hands as we walked. I had to slow down to their speed, and I had to help them because sometimes they would slip. They would have fallen if I wasn’t holding their hand. They were happy and confident because they were holding Daddy’s hand, and Daddy was thrilled to be able to walk with them. In the same way, our precious Heavenly Father holds us up in the midst of the many perils that we experience during our journey. Psalm 37: 23,24 says: “The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand”. I am so grateful that my Heavenly Father is walking with me and He upholds me with His hand. Even when I stumble, He doesn’t let me fall. Be reminded today that your Heavenly Father is journeying together with you. Even though you might stumble, He’s got you! His glorious hand is there steadying and upholding you. You are not alone. He will help you to get to the finished line!
Hold on to this. It is your life!
I always remember that famous quote: “When the student is ready, the teacher will show up.” That is certainly true of Almighty God. He is always ready to teach us by His Spirit. He is ready to guide us on straight paths. Proverbs 4: 11-13 says: “I am teaching you the way of wisdom; I am guiding you on straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hindered; when you run, you will not stumble. Hold on to instruction; don’t let go. Guard it, for it is your life.” He is ready to teach and guide us. However, it is our responsibility to take the steps. It is our responsibility to run our race. Just as long as we hold on to His instructions, He will guide us through any and all challenges life throws our way, and believe me, there will always be challenges along the way. But this one thing is true: God’s promises are bigger than your adversity. Remember: Hold on to His instruction. Guard it, for it is our life!
Proverbs 4: 11-13 says: “I am teaching you the way of wisdom; I am guiding you on straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hindered; when you run, you will not stumble. Hold on to instruction; don’t let go. Guard it, for it is your life.”
