Hold Steady

Bible in a Year:

• Exodus 36–38
• Matthew 23:1–22

I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand.

Isaiah 41:13

Harriet Tubman was one of the great American heroes of the nineteenth century. Showing remarkable courage, she guided more than three hundred fellow slaves to freedom after she first escaped slavery by crossing into free territory in the United States North. Not content to simply enjoy her own freedom, she ventured back into slave states nineteen times to lead friends, family, and strangers to freedom, sometimes guiding people on foot all the way to Canada.

What drove Tubman to such brave action? A woman of deep faith, she at one time said this: “I always told God, I’m going to hold steady on you, and you’ve got to see me through.” Her dependence on God’s guidance as she led people out of slavery was a hallmark of her success.

What does it mean to “hold steady” to God? A verse in the prophecy of Isaiah might help us see that in reality it’s He who holds us as we grab His hand. Isaiah quotes God, who said, “I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you” (41:13).

Harriet held tightly to God, and He saw her through. What challenges are you facing? Hold steady to God as He “takes hold” of your hand and your life. “Do not fear.” He will help you.

Reflect & Pray

What’s your biggest challenge right now? What can you do or say to let God know you trust Him?

Father in heaven, life is hard when I try to do it alone, so I need Your help. Please come alongside me in my greatest challenges and help me know I’m not alone.

Wow! Don’t know how you stood all that heat. LOL!

Greetings to all at the Canteen!

To all our military men and women, past and present,

[beachn4fun]

Hey Ma, are you able to keep warm up there?
I know your temps are worse than mine.

[beachn4fun]

LOL

It was tough, I’m telling you.

We have to enjoy it while we can. Rumor has it, next week about this time we’ll be in the low 30s, daytime temps.

[radu]

Howdy, beachie! *HUGZ*

Have you been able to get out for walks this week? Your weather hasn’t been the most pleasant, has it? BRRRRR

[beachn4fun]

Good evening Mayor ((HUGS))
Thanks for keeping us in the GOOD WORD.
Hold steady indeed. We need to remember that in this current crisis.

[radu]

Howdy, lightman.

Are you and “the beast” ready for Round Two?

[beachn4fun]

Good evening du ((HUGS))
We were finally able to get out yesterday morning.
The trail where we walk still have patches of snow/ice and made it challenging.
We'll go tomorrow, which will be a bit warmer, and hopefully, the trail will be clear.

Did you get any of the nasty stuff?

[lightman]

The beast had a full course meal on Tuesday.

If “round two” means this weekends’ storm looks like that is going to stay in Dixie.

“Round two” down the road...O yeah, fueled, lubed, and ready to go!

[radu]

Howdy, PRO.

Does it still look like a “go” for your weekend fun at the shooting range?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hi, beachy...had a few days below zero. BRRRR!

But working from home meant I could sit inside and look out at the thermometer. LOL!

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

Can you see the weekend just over the horizon? :-)
