Remember the scene in "The Wizard of Oz" when Dorothy and the others finally make it into the Emerald City and into the Wizard's palace?
Scared to death, Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion locked their hands together as they walked down the long, menacing corridor to meet the Wizard. They faced their fears together, hand in hand.
Or remember this famous photograph?
What could be more daunting than living in the White House spotlight for a small boy? But when you have a big, strong daddy to hold your hand, what's to be afraid of?
God says, Hold My hand tight, little one. I am walking with you down the scary corridors of your life experiences. I am holding your hand in the daunting places you live and breathe in. Do you trust Me? Do you believe that My hand is big enough to carry you through the tough and scary times?
Going it alone is never a safe place to be. Going it with someone is always better. And going it with God is the best. He is available and willing and able. Completely able. So, will you hold His hand and know the security of His love, or stand alone with teeth chattering and knees clanking, afraid to move a muscle?
Take the daily challenge to walk hand in hand with God, trusting Him to care for you. Long corridors and big palaces don't seem nearly so scary when you have a loving Friend and Father to hold hands with.
Love,
Joelene
