Hold Steady Bible in a Year: Exodus 36–38 Matthew 23:1–22 I am the Lord your God takes hold of your right hand. Isaiah 41:13 Today's Scripture & Insight: 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 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 holds us as we grab His hand. Isaiah quotes God, said, “I am the Lord your God takes hold of your right hand and says you, Do not fear; I will help you” (41:13). Harriet held tightly God, and He saw her through. What challenges are you facing? Hold steady 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 let God know you trust Him? Father in heaven, life is hard when I try do alone, so I need Your help. Please come alongside me in my greatest challenges and help me know I’m not alone.

I'll not share my biggest challenge at the moment, because things like that get used as weapons here in the blogs. We are not always among friends. Suffice it to say, that God knows and I trust him to get me through each day. Sometimes, His presence is so strong that it is almost tangible, I can feel His arms around me. I don't need to remind Him that I trust Him, I need to remind myself. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
