The Unpluckable Hands of Jesus

# 380 - Today's Du-votional comes from: 1Sa 28:7 “Then Saul said to his servants, "Find me a woman who is a medium, that I may go to her and inquire of her." And his servants said to him, "In fact, there is a woman who is a medium at En Dor." (1 Sam 28:7) Saul, gripped by fear because the Philistines have amassed their troops for an attack against him, has not heard from God and he panics. He decides to try anything that may work, even the forbidden dark arts. Oh how gleeful and quick to oblige is Satan when we panic. Let's see how this applies to our own lives today. Many times we find ourselves in tight situations. Circumstances come upon us and press in on all sides. It's going to happen, the question is how will you and I react? Will we patiently endure and hold to the promises of God's Word and allow the Lord to pull us through, or will we panic and bolt? The Bible tells us that the devil is like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. If you've ever watched a nature film notice how the lion seeks a victim that panics and bolts from the protection of the herd.. Don't bolt beloved, it's what the devil wants you to do! Rather we should patiently wait for the Lord's deliverance in our situation. When you came to faith in Jesus, you were placed in the very hand of God, but this hand is an open hand it is not a clenched fist. There are no fences. You are free to leave that open hand at anytime. The devil will try anything he can, to get you to panic and leave that open hand of God's protection. Stay the course. Wait on the Lord, He will pull you through, and remember this promise from Jesus in Joh 10:28 “And I give to them eternal life, and they shall never ever perish, and not anyone shall pluck them out of My hand.” Though the devil harasses you from every side, stay in the nail scarred unpluckable hands of Jesus. Father, thank You for this promise. Help me to overcome any fears I may have today, and let me rest in the knowledge that I am safe in Your hands.
