I sign my emails with this closing, "In His grip". Why??? I do so because it is true. I take to heart His Word that says, "I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, it is he that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing." I have found truth and peace in this verse.
In fact, the more I grow closer to Him, the more I realize I must decrease so He can increase. In all areas of my life I can give testimony to the ways He has provided in such a way that I could never take credit for it. Physically, spiritually, financially, in service, and in ministry, He is the one who empowers them all. I know that all gifts come from Him and that I can take credit for none of it. It is in God's character to provide. He has done so since day one. Throughout the Bible, we can see how He has provided for his people, the animals, the planet, and universe. It all points back to Him.
I truly live in His grip. Especially when I can not stand, I fall into His arms. There, He holds me during every event and through every emotion, telling me always that He loves me. Awesome! The God who created the universe holds me and loves me! He is the only One worthy of my praise, worship, and attention. I am ashamed when I hold other idols in His place. Yet, He has mercy and forgives. Praise Him for that!!!
Yes...in His grip and His alone will I stay!!!
