“The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand.” (Psalm 37:23-24 NLT).

TAKE MY HAND, PRECIOUS LORD, LEAD ME ON

David trusted the Lord to guide and direct him. He had no doubt that the God of the universe had interest in the details of his life. He had learned that God not only delighted in directing him, but the Lord was also always present to lift him up should he stumble. For the Lord held him by the hand.

David’s intimate relationship with the Lord can be ours through Jesus Christ. Reading this psalm today, I am reminded of my mother’s voice singing that old spiritual written by T.A. Dorsey, “Precious Lord, Take My Hand.”

🎶 “Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
I’m tired, I’m weak, I’m lone
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home”🎶

PRAYER: Dear Father, we are amazed that You are interested in the details of our lives. Yet Your word says that You delight in them. How wonderful! How like a father with his little children. We lift our hands and hearts to You this day. Lead, guide and direct us. Empower us to follow You in all things. In Jesus’ name, amen.
