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
We are created with a need to belong, to be a part of something, but the problem this can create is that some of us don’t have that sense of belonging from those that should love us. The groups or other individuals that will welcome and accept us won’t properly fulfill that deep need, and the counsel we receive from these falls short. Even if you are one who has experienced this for a time, don’t sell out the eternal for the temporal.
This scripture is a powerful reminder that we have a God that loves us and walks with us through all the places of our lives. “He holds my right hand” is a phrase that reveals a caring Father that is there in the thick and the thin of things. He is ever present, wanting the very best for us. He wants us to know that there is a beautiful plan already laid out for each of us, a “glorious destiny” that He has prepared.
I remember when my children were young and the “world” was beginning to “call” to them, I would tell them that no one loved them like I did, so if what the “world” said conflicted with what I said, that they should pay attention regarding the choices that they made. The bible is clear in Proverbs that bad company corrupts good morals… if you put it to the test, you will find it to be true.
“Yet I still” reveals one who may have gone his own way for a time, maybe went with the wrong crowd for a while, but came back to the right place of belonging. We can mess up places of our lives, but if we come back to the One who holds our hand even in the messes, He will guide us back around to the glorious destiny of a loving God.
