Hold My Hand

For I am The Lord, your God, Who takes hold of your right hand & says to you, do not fear; I will help you (Is. 41: 13 NIV)

Today I want you to take a break from your worries, fears, & doubts.  I want you to picture yourself walking along a winding road as the sun starts to disappear & you can start hearing the sounds that you hear at night that have those ominous noises.  You start feeling nervous, uncertain, & fear starts to creep in.  You can't see what's ahead & the noises are numerous & sound very big.  All of a sudden someone walks up, takes you by your hand & says "Do not fear, I will help you".  As you look up, things start getting brighter, the sounds become a little less ominous, & you look into the face of the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ.  Suddenly fear has turned into overwhelming peace as you realize there's nothing that Christ can't bring you through untouched.  Now that's a picture but it's real life.  Christ has you by the hand t & there's no reason to fear as you walk through the scary things in life.  When you know He's walking with you, things aren't as scary& if those fears & doubts start making noise again, focus on that picture & most importantly focus on the face of the Savior.  His face will make your fears melt away.
