HELD

Baby bear is trying to walk.  He pulls up and does the hand walk moving from one piece of furniture to another.  He is into everything and has no fear.  This fearless mentality sometimes leads to a fall.  He will fall and always land on his head.  After the face plant he will begin to cry.  He has a sound that comes out like, “Momma!”  He just wants to be held by his momma. 

Isn’t this true for all of us?  When we fall we want to be held. 

As we get older we realize that we aren’t held by our mommas, but held by the one who created us.  In Psalm 139:10 it is said, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. 

God will always be there for us.  He is there during the good and the bad.  His hand is there to seize us when we go astray or to protect us.  He is there to support us during all situations and circumstances.  He is the same all day everyday. 

The same is written in Isaiah 41:13 for the Lord they God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. 

Everyday be strong and courageous do not be afraid or full of fear.  He will never fail us.  Go to Him in conversation and be content because He is listening.  This alone allows us not to have a spirit of fear, but of strength that is accomplished through Him alone. 

The next time you are trying to walk through a situation and you dive into the floor, falling on your face, remember who holds you.

Just be held!
