Psalm 17:5   ⁵ My steps have held fast to your paths; my feet have not slipped.

Have you ever seen the commercials for Gorilla tape and glue? It sticks to everything and will not slip. It holds things in place, no matter how heavy or awkward the item.

Jesus Christ is the glue that holds us together. When we put our trust in him we will not slip or fall. He holds us fast and keeps us in place, no matter how heavy the struggle or how awkward our faith. Our task is simply to hold on to his hand. If we surrender our wills to his he gives us the ability to make right choices. He will not let us go.

Our faith is strengthened by keeping in contact with Jesus. While he will never leave us if we are constantly struggling against him we will feel like we are slipping out of his loving hand. We stay in touch with Jesus through our prayers and reading his word. He speaks to us words of encouragement so that our steps will not falter. We will hold fast.

Lord, you love us with a steadfast love that will not let us go. Help us to cling to you. Amen.
