This is such good news to my tired, impatient and at times irritable self. Though I may fall I will not be cast headlong, for the Lord holds my hand. Wow...good news indeed! We have had such a warm winter here in Saskatchewan (those are words you don't hear every day!). Consequently we have alot of ice from all the snow melting. The other day my 4yr old and I went for a walk, and because I was fairly certain he would slip and fall, I held very tightly to his sweet little mittened hand. Sure enough, he slipped, and slipped and slipped again. And yet he never fell hard, never did he even hit the ground but felt my firm and sure grip pulling him up again and again. I had a bad day yesterday, no particular reason, but the cure to my problem was time spent with the Lord. Did I run after the cure? No, of course not, cause I am a slow learner. I ran after everything but where my strength is found. So bound and determined to do things right today, I found a quiet spot and prayed (usually consisting of begging the Lord for strength and help!) and then opened the Word and found this gem of a verse. THE LORD UPHOLDS MY HAND!!! Good news. I may slip, and slip, and slip some more like my sweet little boy, but He who upholds my hand will not let me be cast headlong. God is good, and faithful too! My day has been better for no other reason than I ran to the cure.
