Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory. Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
In times of confusion, we can take comfort in knowing that while we may not understand everything here on earth (
Psalm 73:1-22), God will be faithful and work it for our good (
Romans 8:28-29). Everything we have and know here on earth is subject to decay, but our relationship with the
Lord is our strength forever. His strength will not wear out, grow old, or decay. He will not abandon, fail, or forget us (
Romans 8:32-39), but will bring us to him in glory.
Almighty God, thank you for always being with me, especially in those moments when life is most confusing and my fears most troubling. Please give me the faith to ask you honest questions and trust you even when things don't look like they are all that good for those who believe in you. Please strengthen my faith, help me hold firm as I wait for your mighty vindication for your people. Who have I in heaven but you? What do I have on earth that is lasting but you? So, in you I place my trust. In Jesus' name. Amen.
