Your Right Hand Will Hold Me Fast

Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?

If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.

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.

If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.

Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

John 12:42-50

We are among seven billion people on earth. We coexist on a tiny planet. It is a miniscule blue dot among millions of celestial bodies God created. On the gigantic canvas that is our universe, our beautiful, majestic earth appears as a tiny speck of dust.

Our great God has singled each of us out, and He has created everything for us to enjoy. Also, for those who trusted Jesus as Savior, God has given purpose. Despite the vastness of this world, God cares specifically about each of us.

We cannot escape His presence, and He planned our earthly existence before we were born.

We don’t need to feel unimportant when the God of the universe is that interested in us!

The God who created the universe is the God who loves you.
