You're In Good Hands

“You’re in good hands with Allstate!”

Allstate's slogan "You're in good hands" was created in the 1950s by Allstate Insurance Company's sales executive, Davis W. Ellis based on a similar phrase he used to reassure his wife about a doctor caring for their child. It has been their slogan ever since.  When I read Isaiah 43:2-3 that slogan comes to mind. 

God never promised us an easy life on Earth.  Isaiah doesn’t say “if” you go through deep waters, rivers of difficulty, or fires of oppression.  It says “when”.  And when those times come, and they will, God promises to be with us.  Think of it as God’s assurance in His “insurance”; His protection and the fulfillment of His promises. We are in His good, capable, loving, all-powerful, (insert your own amazing God adjective here!) hands.  There is nothing.  Absolutely nothing, He can not handle. 

Take heart those of you treading water, crossing difficult raging rivers, or high-stepping over hot coals!  Your Lord, your God, the Holy One, your Savior is with you!  You’re in good hands!

Resting in my “insurance” benefits with you,
