Hold Fast To Him!
"If I settle on the far side of the sea, even there
your hand will guide me, your right hand will
hold me fast."
Psalm 139: 9-10
Ada R. Habershon was born in England in 1861. Her
family attended Metropolitan Tabernacle, whose pastor,
Charles Spurgeon, was a family friend. At the invitation
of D. L. Moody, she taught the Bible throughout America.
In addition, she wrote hymns. One
of them has been revived
by modern hymnists: “When I fear my faith will fail, Christ will
hold me fast; when the tempter would prevail, He can hold me
fast!... Those He saves are His delight, He will hold me fast.”
Lots of times we don’t like asking for help; we do things on our
own. We are powerless when we are without the Lord. Leaning
on God during difficult times highlights our faith in Him and His
love for us.
We need Him to hold us fast and to give us
wisdom to respond wisely to every situation.
Today offer this prayer—Dear Lord, whatever comes
today and whatever goes, hold me fast and remind
me I am precious in Your sight.
"For my Savior loves me so,
He will hold me fast."
Ada R. Habershon
