Friends

wp:paragraph I start every morning and evening with coffee and God through daily devotions from Our Daily Bread Ministries, https://odb.org. “He Holds Our Hand” is the title of today’s devotion. The scripture is from Isaiah 41:8–13 with the key verse, “I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10. Arthur Jackson wrote this devotion. My beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, before I write, I pray first to God to guide my words, so that it may serve as spiritual food and guidance. I want God to be the sole source of my writing, so all the credit goes to Him, not to me. I am only his humble servant. I thank God that He led me to use Our Daily Bread Ministries as a base for comments. Genesis 22: 17-18, God promised Abraham that his descendants will be as numerous as the stars of heaven and as the sand that is on the seashore and in your offspring all the nations of the earth be blessed. Of course, God was talking about Our Lord and Savior Jesus. Abraham and Moses were the only two people called God’s friend. We have a “new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God. Lord still assures us with the promise of His support and with the words we desperately need to hear: “Do not fear” (Isaiah 41;10, 13) as we navigate our way through life.

Father, thank You for always watching over me. May God bless you and watch over you.
