God's Got You

I start every morning with coffee with God through daily devotions from Our Daily Bread. Today’s devotion is titled “God Holds Us.” Winn Collier wrote this devotion. The scripture reading is from Isaiah 41:1–10 with the key verse, “I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10. My beloved children, grandchildren, cousins, nephews, brothers, and sisters in Christ; for all I write, I first pray to God to guide my words to serve as spiritual food and guidance. I desire God to be my sole source of writing. All the credit goes to God, not me. I am his humble servant. I thank God that He led to use Our Daily Bread Ministries as my inspiration for comments.

Before I became a Christian, there are many times I felt isolated, alone, and exposed. In response, I tried to resolve these issues and feeling on my own. It only got worst.

When I became a Christian, the feelings of isolation, aloneness, and exposure disappeared. I have God’s assurance and knowledge that He upholds my life in His strong hands.

No matter how many years you live, hardships come, a troubled marriage, a child abandoning the family. Your doctor brings terrible news. You face persecution. You know, God reaches to us and holds us firmly in His hand.

Reflect:

When have you felt isolated or exposed? How does it encourage you to know that your life is being held in God’s strong hand?

Prayer:

God, assure me that You’re holding me because I feel like I’m only hanging on by a thread. I trust that You’ll help and uphold me.

My Prayer for You:

I pray when you feel you are hanging by a thread; God will help and uphold you.
