He Holds Our Hand Bible in a Year: Numbers 4–6; Mark 4:1–20 I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10 Isaiah 41:8-13 The little girl who navigated the stairway one Sunday at church was cute, spunky, and independent. One by one the —who appeared to be not much older than two years—took the steps down to the lower level. Descending the stairs was her mission and she accomplished it. I smiled to myself as I pondered the daring independence of this courageous . The wasn’t afraid because she knew her caring mother’s watchful eye was always on her and her loving hand was extended to help her. This aptly pictures the Lord’s readiness to help His as they make their way through life with its varied uncertainties. Today’s Scripture includes two “hand” references. After cautioning His ancient people not to fear or be dismayed, the Lord told them, “I will uphold you with my righteous right hand” (Isaiah 41:10). Many anxious and fearful have been steadied by the strength of a parent. Here God’s power comes into view. In the second “hand” reference, once again it’s the Lord who acted to secure the safety of His own. “For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand” (v. 13). While life situations and times have changed, the Lord hasn’t. We need not despair (v. 10) because the Lord still assures us with the promise of His support and with the words we desperately need to hear: “Do not fear” (vv. 10, 13). Today's Reflection Father, thank You for always watching over me.

I am so thankful for this. A lovely reminder of a fact I lean on every day. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
