I'm Held

My eyes land on Daniel 5:23 where Daniel describes the Lord as the "God who holds in his hand your life and all your ways."

How comforting to know this: God holds my life and all my ways in His hand.

I'm settled here forever. I remember the words of Jesus in John 10:28 about His followers. He says, "I give them eternal life, and they shall not perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand."

Today I remember this, and I visualize myself within the firm grip of God's great hand. Here, my whole life--however wide and complicated, however strange and wandering--rests.

I'm held.
