The act of holding someone’s hand represents our support for one another. In the Bible, God ‘held’ the hands of Moses, Daniel, and Noah in times of trial. In my life, I am grateful to God, my family and friends for holding my hand to get through difficult trials. Together, we are stronger.

One of God’s first promises recorded in the Bible is to Abraham. There were countless stars above Abraham representing the promise. In my mind, there is one star that shone the brightest, representing Jesus, the One through whom people of all nations may receive salvation and everlasting hope.
There are moments in our lives where despair and doubt seem to be very real to us, but God’s presence with us gives us the Hope and the Promise that He is near, that He is our help in time of need. God knows the storms in any situations we’ve had. While our doubt of His grace and capability to provide for us often causes us to sink into the water, He never fails to always shower us with His mercy. He sent Jesus to give us hands of hope while we are in the mist. He will help us to complete our life journey.
