Grab Hold and Lean In

A lesson taughted in the ten Boom household is one that I need to pass onto my children:  " When Jesus takes your hand, He keeps you tight.  When Jesus keeps you tight, He leads you through your whole life.  When Jesus leads you through your whole life, He brings you safely Home." 

Is 8:11  The Lord spoke to me like a firm grasp of the hand.

John 13:23  Now there was a disciple leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples whom Jesus loved. 

I don't know where your life or circumstances have you today or what preparation the Lord is taking you through for your future, but I've learned over the last 2 and a half years specifically the simple truths I've read the last 2 days.

The Lord grasps our hand-  Grab Hold!  Hold tight!  Hold tight as you pray, grow, laugh and watch His plans unfold before you.

Lean In- When the waves crash, sorrows come, don't be afraid to lean in and rest your head on your  Abba's chest.  The Old Testament (Tanach) is full of examples of His feathers or Prayer shawl/mantle covering us.  What a comfort to know that we can crawl into His lap, lay our head on His strong chest and be covered!

Today in our home is an especially tough one.  We are in need of yet another miracle to see us through and provide for our family on so very many levels.  But I choose in the midst of the trial to grab hold and lean in fully aware that He, Messiah/Yeshua, will bring me and my family Home.  

Resting in our Great Provider today.
