He Holds My Hand

Yet I still belong to you; you hold my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, leading me to a glorious destiny. (Psalm 73:23-24)

For I hold you by your right hand—I, the Lord your God. And I say to you, “Don’t be afraid. I am here to help you.” (Isaiah 41:13)

You have given me your shield of victory. Your right hand supports me; your help has made me great. You have made a wide path for my feet to keep them from slipping.”  (Psalm 18:35-36)

The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand. (Psalm 37:23-24)

I lie awake thinking of you, meditating on you through the night. Because you are my helper, I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings. I cling to you; your strong right hand holds me securely. (Psalm 63:6-8)

If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. (Psalm 139:9-10 NIV)

I don’t know which of these verses I like the best.  What I do love, though, is that the Lord holds–my–hand.  He leads and guides me, and keeps me from slipping and stumbling.  With my weak hand in His strong hand, I don’t have to be afraid.

  3. Yes! I say this with left hand thrusted in the air for exclamation! I am memorizing Psalm 63:7-8 and am glad you put verse 6 with it and shared in the NLT. 🙂 Thank you. God continue to bless you richly!
