Cling to God

"The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms." (Deuteronomy 33:27)

God is a big God. His strength and power are beyond our comprehension. When you feel like it is a major effort to get out of bed and function, when you cannot think straight, when holding on to any kind of hope seems impossible, this is the time to pray and to understand that with God all things are possible.

"How do I cling to God? I cling to God by finding out everything I can about God and then not letting go of it and holding on, if I have to, literally by my fingernails. And knowing that when I hang on by my fingernails, I'm going to feel underneath me the Everlasting Arms, which are going to hold me and sustain me."

When your faith is only the size of a tiny, tiny mustard seed, you can move a large mountain because you believe in the power of God. When you are clinging to the hope of God by the barest tips of your fingernails, you will have underneath you the strong, solid arms of the Almighty God. Why? Because you have chosen to trust in Him. You have chosen to believe. And He will be there to give you strength.

"He replied, 'Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, "Move from here to there" and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you'" (Matthew 17:20). Even a little faith, when it is in a big God, is sufficient.

Almighty God, I will cling to You with every ounce of strength I have left. Please give me more faith. Amen.
