Written by Richard Foster, a contemporary theologian and author. This is an excerpt from his book “Freedom of Simplicity.”
Mother Teresa of Calcutta said, “Pray for me that I not loosen my grip on the hands of Jesus even under the guise of ministering to the poor.” That is our first task: to grip the hands of Jesus with such tenacity that we are obliged to follow his lead, to seek first his Kingdom. The [next] step is so simple I am almost embarrassed to mention it, and yet it is so important that I must. Begin now to obey him in every way you can.
For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. [Isaiah 41:13]
The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. [Psalm 46:7]
