Today’s Word from God’s Word-Cling

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Word from God’s Word is Cling.

This refers to holding tightly to something or someone. It is a vivid word to illustrate someone holding on with all their might.

In the Bible, there is a beautiful scene in the book of Ruth, where Ruth is clinging to her mother-in-law. Naomi was trying to convince Ruth to go back to her people in Moab, but Ruth determined to go with Naomi to Bethlehem. Ruth stood by Naomi’s side. She clung and did not let go.

It is a beautiful scene whenever anyone clings to the Lord. Wherever He goes, we are willing to follow. David used this word to describe his relationship with God. In Psalm 63:8, he wrote, “I cling to you; your right hand upholds me.”
