HOLD
Today's reading: Isaiah 61-63

"The Lord will hold you in his hands for all to see--a splendid crown in the hands of God." Isaiah 62:3 NLT

Hold-to have possession of or ownership of or have at one's disposal; to have or maintain in the grasp; to support in a particular position or keep from falling or moving.

You may think, as God's special possession, that you're being stored in His pantry-out of sight and out of mind.

Or that, quite possibly, you're far too plain or common to be on display for Him.

Or maybe you have been told by the enemy that your imperfections and chinks are far to noticeable for Him to want to show the world.

Phooey!

Every day God has you on display in order to reveal His glory to the world.

He holds you carefully and securely in His strong, capable hands and presents you to His world.

As a cherished treasure of His.

As a spoil of a war He fought and funded by His heart.

As a precious masterpiece formed by His own hands.

As a prized creation.

As an adored child.

A crown wouldn't be stuffed away in the archives, hidden in the basement or carelessly tossed in the closet--it would be showed off, displayed, set out to be admired.

Go into the world, child of God...He's hold you!
