Upheld

"The Christian’s life is not a free standing structure. It is not a self-supported tower, it is upheld by the strength of another, it is sustained by the arms of someone else….that alone is a powerful reality, and a greatly comforting one. God commands us to stand, but HE holds us up...

....And the right hand that upholds my soul is wounded…the right hand that sustains me has been pierced by my punishment, and bears the wounds that should have been my damnation.

The scars inflicted by hell’s fire on my Savior’s hands are now seals of my eternal hope, emblems of my acceptance, springs of divine blessing and heralds of God’s love….my soul clings to Him, and His wounded-yet-sovereign right hand upholds me."  Chris Powers
