There is a sweet and blessed note in your prayer, for you have set your song in the very place where God has set His promise. Because He is your helper, you sing for joy in the shadow of His wings, and because His strong right hand holds you securely, you are able to cling to Him.
This is joy and peace in believing, and it is a sure mark of grace. Joy and peace do not come from looking within nor from the comforts of outward circumstance, but always through believing in the Lord Jesus Christ. There is no joy in God except as you see Jesus Christ intimately knit with Him and with yourself, for by Him we have now received the atonement. It is through that great sacrifice that you are kept, and held, and permitted to draw near. Your clinging does not hold Him, but His right hand holds you, and therefore your clinging shall not fail.
You have learned what many are slow to learn, that you may joy in God when there is nothing else to joy in. Suppose there is nothing in the house but God, nothing to rely upon but God, still the soul may sing. The Lord gives comfort to suit your present place and position. Even in Jerusalem, the place of trial, even in the furnace where His fire is, there will He comfort you. He does not always break down the furnace walls at once, but He is with His people in the fire and cheers them in the midst of the flames. So has He done for you in time of pain, giving joy in the shadow of His wings.
May the Lord fulfill your prayer for all who read that precious verse, that they may know the peace which comes from loving His law and trusting His promises, a peace that remains when heart and flesh may fail. And may your own life, kept by His power and singing under His wings, bring glory to His name. Still cling to Him, still look to Jesus, still joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be kept in perfect peace till faith is lost in sight.
May the Father keep you, may the Son be your song, and may the Holy Spirit daily renew your strength, till you forget your present miseries in the fullness of joy at His right hand. Amen.
