IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND

A Midweek Spiritual Workout with

IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND

One day, a man was crossing a bridge, But he was afraid.

So he looked up to God in heaven and asked,

“Can I hold Your hand so that I may not fall?

God answered, “No, my child, I will hold your hand.”

The man asked, “What’s the difference?” 

God replied, “If you hold My hand and you waver,

you might let go, but if I hold your hand, no matter what happens,

I will never let go.”

On this SPIRITUAL WORKOUT WEDNESDAY, with Isaiah 49:16, remember, “Behold, I have engraved you on the palm of My hand…”  And with the psalmist in Psalm 139:10, “Even there, Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me.” Consider what it means to be held in God’s hand.
