“Even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.”
Psalm 139:10
Some people say,
“Pray for us that we’ll hold out faithful to the end.”
We know what they mean, but they may not phrase it correctly.
Picture Noah’s ark in a different way.
Rather than being on the inside,
they’re holding on to some slimy pegs on the outside of the ark.
Noah says to Mrs. Noah,
“Honey, pray for me that I’ll hold out faithful to the end.”
But God said to Noah,
“Come into the ark,”
and the same God that shut the water out, shut Noah in.
Noah may have fallen down inside that ark, but he never fell out of it.
It’s not that we hold on to Him, but that He holds on to us.
Spend some time today simply praising God for His faithfulness,
His steadfastness, and His unconditional love for you.
About Don Woodruff
Retired from FedEx and dedicated to sharing God's Word with others. I send out devotionals weekly and have written two books: "The Crucifixion Catalyst / Unspoken Messages From God To Believers" (published and available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble **out of print**) and "I'm Saved Now What?" (unpublished). I am currently working on a third one that will be a Daily Devotional. The devotionals on my Blog have been viewed by people in all 50 states and over 80 foreign countries. I sincerely believe the Lord provides the content for the devotionals and in 2013 He “tasked” me with distributing them and storing them on my Blog. They are free and I will not solicit any donations. I hope you enjoy them and feel free to leave comments if one of them speaks to you personally, or if you have a suggestion.
