encouragement

So take a new grip

with your tired hands

& stand firm on your shaky legs.

Mark out a straight path for your feet

so that those who are weak & lame will not fall

but become strong.

Hebrews 12:12-13 (NLT, 1st ed.)



Who besides me today can so succinctly & so completely identify with tired hands & shaky legs?

Is it safe to assume that if we make the move to "take a new grip" & "stand firm" that God will prvide the necessary strength to do so?

He'd better, because I've run out of strength - how about you?

Evidently, the decision we make to "keep on" affects not only each of us individually, but also influences, encourages, & strengthens those who are quite as strong as us.

iow, we carry a lot of responsibility for how we deal with life & what & how our lives impact those around us...

no pressure there!

Maybe we should form a support group - we could call ourselves the TH/SL - Tired Hands / Shaky Legs Support Group.


Read the verses again & take heart...
