God has promised to lift us up and guide our steps if we let Him do so. Also God has promised that when we entrust our lives to Him completely and without reservation, He will give us the strength to meet any challenge, the courage to face any trial and the wisdom to live in His righteousness. God’s hand uplifts those who turn their hearts and prayers to Him. Can we be counted among that number? Can we accept God’s peace and wear God’s armor against the temptations and distractions of our dangerous world? If we do, we can live courageously and optimistically, knowing that we have been forever touched by the loving, unfailing and uplifting hand of God. Let us snuggle in God’s arms. When we are hurting, when we feel lonely or left out, let us allow Him to cradle us, comfort us, and reassure us of His all sufficient power and love. As we face the challenges of this world, let us lean upon Him to protect and guide us today and forever. — Isaiah 46:4
