God told Joshua before he stepped out into battle that He (God) was in charge of the situation. This brought great confidence to Joshua in a time he could have been very fearful about the circumstance he faced. In Joshua 8:18 God declares, "Stretch out the spear that is in your hand toward Ai, for I will give it into your hand."
When you walk in relationship with Christ each day and prayerfully surrender to the Lordship of Christ, you can remain secure in faith that God has got you covered. His grip is secure. You do not seem to fear what the day will bring forth or how troublesome relationships will eventually turn out because deep inside you know that God's got your back.

There is great assurance in walking in that type of closeness with God. Nothing compares to it and nothing can replace it. It is a life of peace when you stand in God's grip.
If you long for this type of confidence today, then ask God to help you to rest in Him and keep your hand tightly in His. Because when you know that your hand is in the Hand of God, the security you experience is like that of a very small child hanging onto his 6 foot tall, strong Dad when he stumbles and begins to fall. In that instance, you know that your Father's grip is strong and sufficient and this gives you peace.
