THE STORY OF JESUS: Psalm 63
“I cling to you; your right hand upholds me.” (Psalm 63:8)
Life in this world can be very difficult.
For many people, its a struggle for survival, to hang on.
This is not my experience, but I know many people living like this.
Its seems simplistic to say, ‘hang on to God, He’s hanging on to you!’
And yet what other hope have I got to offer?
If God’s help is not enough, nothing else will be.
In my own personal struggles, I have found strength in God’s hands.
My struggles do not always go away, but I am better positioned for them.
Like David, I have God’s presence and purpose to hang on to…
And hanging on to me… God’s hand upholds me, even when I let go.
Jesus is my model in this, a picture of calm in the midst of the storm.
Hanging on to His Father, even when it seems His Father lets go of Him.
And overcoming Satan, sin, death and hell – rising up in glory!
Jesus opened the way to victory for us; hang on to Him, even as He hangs on to you!
What do you sense the Lord saying to you?
PRAYER
Lord, when all around me seems messed up and painful, I lift my hands up to You, and sense Your hands surrounding me. There’s not better place to be!
Walking with God at all times.
David praises God in the desert.
During his waking hours he praises God – even during the night time.
David clings to his God for his God gives him strength.
Where does my help come from?
The Lord!
He is my Rock and Salvation.
He is my Comfort.
Nowhere am I safer than when I put my small hand into His.
That’s comfort.
Hold fast.
My Jesus, My Saviour,
Lord there is no one like you,
All of my days, I want to praise
The wonders of Your mighty love.
My comfort, my shelter,
Tower of refuge and strength
Let every breath, all that I am
Never cease to worship You.
Chorus:
Shout to the Lord, all the earth let us sing,
Power and majesty, praise to the King!
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar,
At the sound of your name!
I sing for joy at the work of your hands,
Forever I’ll love you, forever I’ll stand
Nothing compares to the promise I have in You.
Repeat verse
My Jesus, my Saviour,
Lord, there is none like You
All of my days, I want to praise,
The wonders of your mighty love
My comfort, my shelter,
Tower of refuge and strength
Let every breath, all that I am
Never cease to worship You
