Kong Hee: Abba - The Father Of LoveSample
The God Who Holds Your Hand
Do you remember what it felt like to hold your parents’ hands when you were younger? When you were a child, there was surely no safer feeling than the security that comes from holding hands with someone who loves and cares for you.
Imagine holding the hand of the One who placed the stars in the sky, filled the oceans with water, and created all things, including you! God says to his people in Isaiah 41:13, “For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’” As God’s child, you do not need to fear anything. You are held by your Father and there is no safer place to be than in His hands.
One of the most incredible things about feeling secure is that it dramatically affects your actions. The safer you feel, the bolder you will act. This is true for all children. When a child is with his parents, holding their hands and resting in their loving protection, he is quick to laugh and be goofy. But when a child is dropped off at a new day care, far away from their parents, he becomes quiet and shy.
This same principle is also true for your spiritual actions. When you are close to your Abba Father, you do not need to be afraid to stand boldly for Him in this world. You are protected by your Father in heaven, and He is holding your hand. Nothing will harm you because you are secure in Him. You are free to live for God boldly, free to rejoice in Him boldly, and free to love Him and others boldly!
Prayer for the day:
Today, thank God for holding your hand and protecting you every day. Ask Him to help you use the security that He has given you to love Him and others more.
