Psalms 110

This chapter is about how God had promised to bring victory in war to His people, and yet, the thing that hits me is not that promise of victory, but of His promise of His presence. "The Lord is at your right hand..." v.5a He is here with me! He's standing next to me (or rather me next to Him) holding my hand ready to lead me in His way! His presence gives me courage and strength; it gives me joy, peace, and contentment. With my Savior by my side, and with His strength, I can do all things. He picks me up when I fall down and He walks with me in the quiet of the day. At night He gives me peace to sleep. He protects me from danger. He is with me when I feel alone. I think Tenth Avenue North said it best in their song 'By Your Side.' I'll be by your side wherever you've fallen in the dead of night whenever you're calling. Please don't fight these hands that are holding you. My hands are holding you. Here at My side My hands are holding you.
