Clinging to a Finger

I took the picture below during VBS.  I thought it was a cute picture at the time, but when I looked at it later it made me think about my relationship with the Lord.  I feel like such a small child with such a big Heavenly Father.  I am clinging to Him and He is leading me, but some days I feel like I am barely holding on.  I am like this child who is holding on to just a finger. And just like everything else in this picture is blurry and unfocused, my life often feels that way. With God, I know He will never let go.  He will never leave me behind, and so it's ok if everything is blurry and unfocused. As long as He is in focus in my life, nothing else matters.  Somedays all I know to do is just cling. I don't have the right words to pray, my sin feels great, my faith feels weak, but I know that I don't want to live life without  my Father in it.  So I hold on tighter and know that He is holding on to me.




Where can I go from your spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. 
Psalm 139:7-10
