Hold my hand precious Lord.. ( Isaiah 41 v 10 )

Again turning to what Elihu has to say,and its in Job  36 v 7, we read ,'''He ( God ) does not take his eyes of the righteous''. What comforting words these are ,in other words God is always watching over all of His children.There is never a moment when He is not watching over us, He is not just watching as an idle bystander oh no, what comfort would that be,David Atkinson writing on the suffering Job,and let us not forget the extent of this sufferer,writes the following.''There are times when we come into touch with those who are going through it.May God give us grace to hold out these two positive strands; hope in place of despair,based on communion in the place of alienation. For though Job  does not yet know this,God himself is present with Job in his despair, and in his alienation, God has never  let go of his hand'.                                                                                                                                                                                Hold Thou my hand,the way is                                                                                                                  dark before me.                                                                                                                                           Without the sunlight of Thy face                                                                                                                divine;                                                                                                                                                        But when by faith I catch its                                                                                                                      radiant glory,                                                                                                                                              What heights of joy,what rapturous                                                                                                           songs are mine.                                                                                                                                               ( Words , Grace.
