We are never alone

During a recent discussion in the Lysa Terkeurst Bible Study “Making Peace with What I Cannot Control”, a biblical verse resonated with me. I went back and read further and I couldn’t help but have this image of God as our Father who is always there with us holding our hand. The verse is Psalms 139:10, “even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast”. I immediately saw how Rob would hold the girls hands, one on each side, throughout their entire lives. The comfort and peace found in not only a father’s presence, but the warmth of his hand wrapped around yours is unmatched. That is how God is to us at all times. I encourage you to read further in Psalms 139, it highlights how our Father, our God, knows us. He knows our thoughts, He knows our actions. We can try to flee or go across the world, but He is always there holding our right hand and not letting go. Even when darkness surrounds us, He brings forth the light. Isn’t that imagery beautiful, comforting?
