July 29: No One Can Pluck Them Out of My Father’s Hand


“My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.”
— John 10:29 (NKJV)

5 Points:

  1. Our security is guaranteed by the Father’s unmatched power.
  2. We are not kept by our effort, but by His grip.
  3. No enemy, no event, no failure can steal us away.
  4. The Father Himself protects what belongs to Him.
  5. Jesus and the Father hold us with eternal hands.

Poem: In the Father’s Hand

The lions circle with angry roars.
The fires burn the trusted fields.
But your hand cups the wounded flame.
You shelter the trembling soul with steel.
You bind the blood with threads of gold.

The winds tear against open gates.
The waters batter fallen dreams.
But your grip tightens against the tide.
You lift the torn and weary heart.
You anchor the faint against the storm.

The world throws stones at hidden dreams.
The voices scream to break the songs.
But you fold your hand around my cry.
You build a fortress from your palm.
You plant my name in holy scars.

The grave may grin and shout for gain.
The years may strip the garden bare.
But your fingers weave new vines.
You forge new songs in darkest soil.
You lift the empty with living breath.

Today I live in the hollow of your hand.
Today I breathe inside your mighty grip.
You are the wall no thief can scale.
You are the hand no fear can break.
You are the keeper of all my days.
