Taking that hand. Trusting that hand would rescue from the swirling water. Knowing before that the water would be a sure-footing underneath unsteady feet. But looking down pulls one down. But looking full into the face of the One that saves rescues from the chaos below. And He gently reaches down and lifts the hand without yanking. Because in His love there is a gentle touch. Knowing His strength so that harm doesn’t come in the helping.
Are you fully trusting in His strength this hour, this moment?
Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” Matthew 14:31 (ESV)
