Today's blog post is contributed by David Trotta:

Though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand. (Psalm 37:24)

I cling to you; your right hand upholds me. (Psalm 63:8)

There are over 20 scriptures in the Bible where God promises to uphold His people.  He must really want us to know how faithful He is to always be there to strengthen and comfort us, especially during our times of greatest needs.  His hand is strong and steady and He will never let us go.

When things get tough, we often cling to the things of this world, but none of them satisfy.  They will often pull us down rather than hold us up.

Jesus drew His strength from His Father while He was on earth.  He kept His inner eyes firmly fixed on Him.  No ordinary man could have endured what Jesus went through.  He relied on the Father to uphold Him.

The same Spirit that dwelled within Jesus dwells within us. If you are feeling discouraged and you feel like you are faltering, even finding it difficult to take that next step, cling to the Father.  He promises (over and over) to uphold you.
