Psalm 94:18 (NKJV) 18 If I say, “My foot slips,” Your mercy, O Lord, will hold me up.
One day many years ago, I was getting ready to leave my house to run some errands. It was a day I had my grandson with me. He was only a little guy at this time, only about a year old.
It was a cold day, so I bundled him up in his heavy coat and warm hat, and put his hood up.
I stepped outside my door with him in my arms and I started walking to my car. Before I knew it, I was on the ground. I had slipped on black ice and down I went, baby and all.
When I hit the ground I heard no crying. There was no noise at all. All I saw was my grandson in my arms looking up at me. I panicked and started to yell for my husband. It was my yelling that scared the little guy, and of course he started to cry.
My husband came quickly and carried him in the house. I was so upset, thinking he had been hurt, only to find out there was not a scratch, bump or bruise on him. He was laughing with Granddaddy as he checked him over.
My arms were wrapped around him so tightly, that when we hit the ground we hit arms first, and he was protected.
Yes, it was shocking, because it all happened so suddenly. But we were both fine. Praise be to God!
This reminds me of how God’s mercy is like my arms around that child, so tightly, holding him up so he wouldn’t get hurt or hit hard.
Let us give Him praise today for His precious arms of “Mercy” holding us up from time to time!! Amen.
Psalm 103:8 (NKJV) 8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.
