Grab On
Grab On
The Lord made you; He formed you in the womb and he will help you. Isaiah 44:2; For I am the LORD your God who takes hold of your right hand Isaiah 41:13
The vine was going crazy. it was growing so fast and looking for something to grab onto all the time. Thin tendrils were reaching
out continually, waving in the breeze. One grabbed onto an empty rough hewn basket; the others were pawing at the air.
How often in life we are so like that plant, looking for something to grab onto. Something to hold onto, to ground us and provide stability.
Blaise Pascal, a French philosopher, said, "There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made know through Jesus". Until our souls find rest in Him, we can be unknowingly waving about in thin air trying to latch onto meaning for our lives.
It is indeed good news that we have God's promises that He is with us*, will never leave us**, and will help us***.
