I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee
Isa. 41:13
Don’t try to hold God’s hand; let Him hold yours. Let Him do the holding, and you do the trusting.
H. W. Webb-Peploe
Samuel G. Hardman and Dwight Lyman Moody, Thoughts for the Quiet Hour (Willow Grove, PA: Woodlawn Electronic Publishing, 1997).
It is not by us reaching to hold God's hand that He is honored. It is allowing Him to reach for and hold ours that He is glorified. By ourselves we can do nothing but by His grace we can do anything. With His hand in ours we are trusting Him to lead us and show us His ways. By this we are taught to trust Him.
May the good Lord bless and keep you safe.
Remember to "Always Love The Details."
Beautiful thoughts here, Jim. May we daily allow God to take us by the hand and lead us closer to Him. Blessings!
