The Father's Business Podcast

Devotional-Hold My Hand

Elizabeth Gunter Powell and Kimberly Roddy

Have you ever noticed how instinctively we reach for someone's hand when we're anxious or afraid? That simple, human gesture reveals a profound spiritual truth about our relationship with God.

The imagery from Isaiah 41:13 presents us with a breathtaking promise: "For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear, I will help you." This devotional explores the remarkable reality that the Creator who holds galaxies in His hands personally extends His hand to hold yours through every circumstance of life.

The Father's Business was founded by Sylvia Gunter to encourage people to a deeper relationship with God.

Speaker 1:

Isaiah 41.13 says For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you Do not fear, I will help you. When anxious, we instinctively reach for the hand of someone we trust, seeking assurance and comfort. This simple act mirrors a profound theological truth. God, who holds the entire world in his hands, personally extends his hands to us. Receive your Father's promise to hold your hand through these paraphrased scriptures. Allow them to displace your fears and doubts with his assurance. Even when you stumble, remember that you will not fall, for I, the Lord, am there to uphold you with my hand. So do not fear, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed or anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. My presence is a constant source of strength and comfort for you, my shield of victory and my right hand sustains you.

Speaker 1:

I reach down from heaven to make you great. I widen the path beneath your feet so your ankles do not turn. I reveal to you the wonders of my great love.

The enemy will recognize that it is my hand, that I, the Lord, have accomplished it. Because you love me, I will rescue you. I will protect you, for you acknowledge my name when you call upon me. I will answer you. I will be with you in trouble. I will deliver you and honor you With long life. I will satisfy you and show you my salvation.
