“If I take the wings of dawn
and dwell beyond the sea,
Even there your hand guides me,
your right hand holds me fast.”
-Psalm 139:9-10
When I bring the deep-down-in-my-bones understanding of who I am in God out into what I do, there is tremendous joy. Seeking to live for the greater glory of God has transformed my life in ways I cannot imagine. It reminds me of a prayer by Pedro Arrupe, SJ, that often helps me when I am discerning the more I am called to:
“More than ever I find myself in the hands of God. This is what I wanted all my life from my youth. But now there is a difference; the initiative is entirely with God. It is indeed a profound spiritual experience to know and feel myself so totally in God’s hands. ”
Take some time to imagine yourself held in God’s hands. Are you being led? Are you being held? Are you being cradled or drawn deeper?
How will you live your week knowing that God’s right hand holds you fast?
