Walking Hand-in-Hand with God

“For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’”Isaiah 41:13

This is not a metaphor. This is not poetry. This is not some high-sounding, hyper encouragement. This is the Almighty God making a personal, practical, and prophetic declaration to you. “I will hold your right hand. I will help you.” God is not standing at a distance. He is not sending a message. He is not suggesting a solution. He is stepping in. He is reaching out. He is gripping your hand and saying, “Let’s walk through it together.” And when God helps you, He does not outsource it. He does not delegate it. He becomes the Help Himself. He enters your fire. He steps into your delay. He shows up in your confusion. He stands in the middle of your warfare.

If the Lord is holding your hand, what power can resist you? What force can delay you? What opposition can stop you? No demon in hell can fight the One who fights for you. No wall can stand when the One who breaks gates of brass is on your side. No protocol can hinder the God who sets His own protocols.

The sea could not stand when it saw the Glory of the Invisible Almighty One. The river ran. Mountains skipped. Hills trembled. Even the earth backed away when God stepped in. That is what happens when the Almighty appears. That is what happens when He holds your right hand.

“The sea saw it and fled; Jordan turned back. The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs. What ails you, O sea, that you fled? O Jordan, that you turned back? O mountains, that you skipped like rams? O little hills, like lambs? Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob.”- Psalm 114:3–7

So I ask you, what are you doing with your right hand? Are you still holding on to what is unclean? Are you gripping distractions, pursuits, and pleasures that prevent divine grip? How can God hold what you have already occupied? Disengage your right hand from lesser things so you can fully engage the hand of the Lord.

There is even a deeper dimension. God does not only want to hold your hand. He wants to guide you with His eyes. Psalm 32:8: “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.”

This is intimacy. This is precision. This is how generals are led. God says, “Stay close enough to see My eyes.” He is not always shouting. He is not always shaking the mountains. Sometimes He is simply looking. But if you are far, you will miss it.

This is why the war over your focus is real. The moment your eyes lock with God’s eyes, direction becomes clear. Discernment becomes sharp. Acceleration begins. The enemy knows this. So he fights to distract you. He floods you with noise. He surrounds you with opinions. He clogs your spirit with comparison and worry and busyness.

You start looking at everything else. You look at people. You look at yourself. You look at the storm. You scroll. You stress. You compare. And in the process, your gaze shifts away from Jesus.

“Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”Hebrews 12:2

Fix your eyes on Jesus,  his eyes are saying, “Come.” His eyes are saying, “Stay.” His eyes are saying, “Now.” But because your eyes are elsewhere, you miss it. Now is the time to shift your gaze. Now is the time to turn your eyes fully upon the Lord. Now is the time to break free from all that competes for your attention.

Let His fire touch you. Let His gaze awaken you. Let His look silence the storm. Let His presence baptize you afresh. Take your eyes off the wind. Take your eyes off the waves. Fix your gaze on Him. God is speaking volumes through His eyes. His eyes are full of fire. His eyes are full of mercy. His eyes are full of glory. His ey
