Holding Up or Holding On?

By Davalynn Spencer @davalynnspencer


“How are you holding up?” an acquaintance asked the other day.


The answer came without consideration: “By holding on.”


The phrase “holding up” insinuates personal stamina, strength, jaw-clenching determination.


But “holding on” says something else entirely. It points to solidity outside myself.


I don’t have the strength to hold up under life’s pressures and disappointments. But I can hold on to the One who is holding on to me.


And He never lets go.


 


Yet I am always with You;


You hold me by my right hand.


You guide me with Your counsel,


And afterward You will take me into glory.


Psalm 73:23-26 


 


… no one can snatch them out of my hand.


… no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.


John 10:28-29

If God really was behind this whole business proposition of Mae Ann’s, then it was a whole lot more than Cade just showing up at the wrong place at the right time.                                                                                    ~An Improper Proposal
