"For I am the Lord, your God,
who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
I will help you."

Isaiah 41:13

such a protective gesture, taking hold of our right hand. 
when do you take hold of someone's hand? i take hold of my kids' hands when we are crossing the road, or when i don't want them to get lost if we're around LOTS of people.

and intimate. i hold pat's hand when we are on the same page, when i want to say, "here i am. i'm with you! completely. right now." 

God is protective and intimate with us. what a Father!
