Harriet Tubman – “I’m Going to Hold Steady on You”

Harriet Tubman / Underground Railroad

Harriet Tubman escaped slavery and then returned again and again to lead others to freedom on the Underground Railroad. She never lost a single “passenger.” She could not read. She had no formal maps. She often traveled at night. Her simple declaration of faith was: “I always told God, ‘I’m going to hold steady on You, and You’ve got to see me through.’” And He did.

How you’d preach it

Strong picture of courageous faith that depends on God rather than on visible resources or guarantees.
