But my people would not listen to me…
So I gave them over to their
Stubborn heart
To follow their own devices.
Psalm 81:11
This verse made me think about how often I am stubborn when God is whispering, “Let me hold your hand.”
We hold hands a lot in my family. We hold hands for protection, comfort and love. Occasionally, my children are stubborn and they do not want me to hold their hand.
They want to run ahead of me having their own ideas and plans. It is difficult to hold a hand that does not want to be held!
Save us and help us with your right hand,
that those you love may be delivered.
Psalm 60:5
For I am the LORD, your God,
who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, “Do not fear; I will help you.”
Isaiah 41:13
