The words on the screen said, \u201cFor years, our phones have captured our memories.\u201d Images of candid, in the moment photos begin to roll and with each photo, the problem in the background becomes more apparent. Then the words, \u201cNow, it\u2019s time to fix them.\u201d I can\u2019t stop thinking about this commercial and my all-time favorite verse Romans 8:28 \u2018<em>And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose<\/em>.\u2019 Each time we fall short, the enemy tries to convince us that we\u2019re in trouble but God comes along and says this is where He takes over.<\/p>\n<p>You see if we do what the commercial is suggesting and erase the mistakes in life, then we are also removing the hand of God. When we erase that mistake, you also erase God\u2019s mercy that covered you in every step of that mistake. If you erase that problem, you also erase God\u2019s provision through that problem, and the greater purpose of it today.<\/p>\n<p>When you have the Holy Spirit inside, He redirects you and helps you determine\/decide the right things to do \u2013 not to make mistakes. May you be reminded this morning that the hand of God is holding you. He has sent His angels to protect and guide you.<\/p>\n<p>If you erase that ginormous goof-up, you also erase God\u2019s grace that never gave up on you once. If you erase the hurt, you also erase the healing.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t delete the background. It\u2019s building your story.<\/p>\n<p>The hand of God is holding you.<\/p>\n<p>The hand of God is strengthening you.<\/p>\n<p>God has sent His angels to surround you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prayer for today<\/strong>: <em>Thank you, God for never letting me go.
