I have another song for us this morning-- woke up with it on my mind: "I'll keep holding on to Jesus, I'll keep holding on to Jesus. I'll keep holding on to those precious nail scarred hands. I cannot see the way too clearly, and my path becomes so weary. I'll keep holding on to those precious nail scarred hands".
Life is not always a bed of roses. It is not always easy. Sometimes it is hard and rough. Sometimes life throws us a curve ball. Sometimes it brings pain, grief and sorrow. Life is unpredictable. It is subject to change-- it can go from a really good day to an awful day in a split second.
So, what do we do in the highs and lows of life? In the ups and downs? In the good and in the bad? In times of joy and times of pain? In times when our faith is being sorely tried? In times when we are on the top of the mountain or down in the valley? What do we do when the storm rages, the fire burns, the lion's roar and the earth is shaking beneath us? We do what the lyrics of the song encourage us to do--- we keep holding on to Jesus! We keep holding on to Him no matter what.
Whatever you are going through, keep holding on to the hands of Jesus. They are the same hands that reached out and saved Peter when he was sinking in the sea. They are the same hands that touched blind Bartimaeus and gave him back his sight. They are the same hands that held the little children when the disciples tried to send them away. They are the same hands that touched the lepers and healed them. They are the same hands that were nailed to the cross so that you could be forgiven of your sins and receive eternal life.
What are you holding on to for help? Your money? It won't help-- riches take wings and fly away. Your own understanding? It is limited. Other people? They are flesh and blood just like you are. The system? It will fail you. The only hands that will never let you go and will hold on to you in the worst storm, the deepest pain, the most horrific tragedy and in the darkest pit are those precious nail scarred hands of Jesus.
Have a great day. What are you holding on to for help in life? I'll keep holding on to those precious nailed scarred hands.
