I cling to You; Your strong right hand holds me securely. – (Psalm 63:8, NLT)
I stay close to You, and You hold me with Your powerful arm. – (Psalm 63:8, ERV)
My soul clings to You; Your right hand reaches down and holds me up. – (Psalm 63:8, VOICE)
Much like a small child who has not quite yet learned to walk on their own, who reaches for the strong hand of a loved one to help steady them and hold them up, we too ought to do likewise with the Lord. Though we no longer need the help of a hand to walk, His nearness and His strength are necessary to navigate the obstacles that rise up before us. Just as a toddler has absolute trust in the hand that holds them, we too need to cling to Christ and trust that He has us in His outstretched hands. His arms are far greater than our adversaries and obstacles. As we stay close to Christ, we become acutely aware of His presence and His provision to persevere in all things and at all times. May we have faith like little children, as we trust completely in the nearness and greatness of our God to whom we cling.
I cling to You, Lord, 
For Your strength is great;
Your hand holds me up,
Hope to celebrate.
His mighty right hand,
Reaches where we are;
Holds our heaviness,
Grants strength to go far.
No matter what comes,
Have hope and believe;
The depth of His love,
Too much to conceive.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that as we cling to You, You hold us up with Your mighty hands. Thank You that we can seek You in all things, and trust You to be our strength, our help and our hope. Forgive us for not coming to You in trust. Teach us to know in our hearts the truth of Your promises for ourselves. Show us how to love others well, just as we are loved by You. May many come into a lasting relationship with You. Be glorified O God, as we cling to You and become aware of Your hands holding us secure. Amen.
