As I was singing in the choir on Sunday, the Lord met me. I love it when He steps in when we
least expect it. The song was Peace Be Still.

"And no matter where you are, or where you've been. I am sure, He wants you to know...He won't let go.  He won't let go, Jesus won't let go, He won't let go. I am sure, He wants you to know, He won't let go."

Jesus invited me last week to step out of my boat of security to join Him in a ministry
adventure that will happen in the fall. It's for a weekend event that I have never led before. At
first, I was shocked I was even asked to lead it. However, the more I prayed, I just couldn't shake off the feeling that I was supposed to say "yes" to the opportunity. The Lord didn't ask if I felt
capable or prepared, His only question was "Are you willing?" Simple, pure, yet so profound.

So, I answered with "yes, I am willing."  A few times since then, I have asked myself, "Why did I say yes?" "I'm not sure I can do this. It will take time, learning, planning, stretching, etc."

Then Sunday...in the middle of the service, Jesus showed up in a song and said, "I won't let go".

I have renewed faith and courage that He will equip me and never let me go.

"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.’" (Isaiah 41:13 The Message)

Where do you need to be willing? Allow the Lord to say to you, "I won't let go."
