My Baby's Grip

 I miss my baby so much that I can't help but write about her and that is why I am writing about her grips.

As you all may have known, I have a cute baby sister (feel free to view her picture below. LOL)

Oreoluwa Babatayo

Whenever she's climbing the stairs, she would always grip the railings very firmly. She grips it and confirms that she's gripping it well before she takes her next step (I wish I made a video).

She is already walking o, but then she understands she still needs a support system and the railings come to the rescue.

In fact, when she was still a baby, I mean few months old, she always knew when she's been carried through the stairs. I don't knw how she knows but immediately you carry her through the stairs, she would hold you firmly. I still wonder how she knows but then, you'd always feel her tight grip when passing through the stairs with her.

If I am walking down or up the stairs with Oreoluwa, she would always hold me tightly and expect that I don't let her go.

In the same vein, God is also ready to hold us tightly but is our grip on Him?

I stumbled on Isaiah 41:13 today and it says "That's right. Because I, your God, have a firm grip on you and I'm not letting go. I'm telling you, 'Don't panic. I'm right here to help you"

So, just like my baby's firm grip, God is telling us to also hold onto Him firmly even when going through the issues of life. God is telling us that we should not panic and that He is with us assuredly. I don't know what you are going through but I am sure you are going through something So, whatever you are going through, whatever stairs of life you are climbing, ensure you are grabbing unto God. Ensure that you are not letting go of His firm grip.

Some of us are gripping unto cheating and exam malpractice to excel in school. Some of us are gripping unto uncles and sugar daddies for that job connection. Some of us are even gripping unto extra marital affairs for our bills to be paid. 

You may be able to walk and able to climb the stairs on your own, but don't walk alone. Walk with God and ensure you are gripping unto Him firmly.

I am writing this to encourage you not to grip on anyone or anything except God. Some may trust in horses and chariots but let your trust and grip be on God. Hold onto Him firmly irrespective of the situation around you and watch Him come through for you.
