THE HOLY GRIP

When guiding children across busy traffic we tell our children to hold our hand tightly, but we do not depend upon their grip; no, we grab them with a vice grip. It is incredibly comforting to know that I live in the firm grasp of God; His grip on me is much firmer than my grip on Him. His Word clutches the strings of my heart, His Will clings to my own, I cannot simply pull way.  At times I struggle against His embrace, only to be pulled tighter by His Holy Hand. Father, You are the “The Lord my Keeper”, thank You for Your encircling Love. Your love has no limit, Your care has no measure.
