“even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.”
Psalms 139:10 NIV
In this passage, the Psalmist is declaring the Lord’s continuous presence in his life. This Psalm of King David is his acknowledgment of his inability to escape from God. David understood that God was fully knowledgeable of every aspect of his life; where he was physically, what he was thinking mentally, and what he was feeling emotionally. David acknowledged that it was impossible to escape the presence of God.
Right now, I don’t really know where “there” is for you, but I do know that the Lord is aware of where you are, what you are thinking, and what you are feeling. For King David, God’s presence was a source of strength, as he was confident that God would guide him and hold him fast.
My prayer for you is that you have faith in and trust our inescapable God, who loves you and can sustain you through any personal struggle you are facing. Wherever “there” is for you, know that God can “guide” you and “hold you fast!”
