God Holds Our Hand

From: Messages of God's Love: 1945

A little two-year-old girl went with her daddy to call on her grandmother, who was leaving that day on a trip. After telling her grandmother goodbye, they started to leave, the father holding the little girl by the hand. As they were going down the steps, the little girl stumbled, and would have fallen, but her father, who held her hand firmly, supported her, and kept her from going down.

The dear grandmother, who had a knack of bringing spiritual lessons out of little everyday incidents, and whose joy it was to speak for her Lord, immediately saw the lesson in this little incident, and said,

“Now that is just what the Lord does for us. We may miss our step, but God holds our hand, and He will keep us from falling.”

“I the Lord have called thee in righousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee.” Isaiah 42:6⁶I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; (Isaiah 42:6).

“I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.” Isaiah 41:10,13¹⁰Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. (Isaiah 41:10)
¹³For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. (Isaiah 41:13).

“Hold Thou me up, and I shall be safe.” Psalms 119:117¹¹⁷Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually. (Psalm 119:117).
