"Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me."
Psalm 139:7-9
Lord, I'm tempted to wonder whether I am really held firmly by your hand. Your Word reminds me that no matter where I am or whatever my circumstances, your right hand leads me and holds me. It is the hand of your sovereignty. Did I make a mistake or a decision that caused the hold of your hand to loosen? No, I know you hold me still! I'm tempted to think think that I must find my way back to You and do things to more firmly fix myself into your hand. Lord, I know you hold me and lead me still. Lord, I know I am full of sin and not worthy of your love and so I come to your table as a beggar in need of your grace. I have nothing and my worth amounts to nothing. I am in desperate need of a Savior! I need You or I have no hope of my own.
"Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!"
Psalm 139-23-24
Lead me, Lord, in the way everlasting. I know you promise you are with me always, not because I deserve you, but because you love me and died for me.
