Staying Close
…Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand. Psalm 73:23
While walking through a busy mall, someone noticed an elderly couple moving slowly along, hand in hand. Their fingers were tightly intertwined, and they stayed close as they passed store after store. The sight was touching, a quiet picture of lifelong love in the middle of a noisy place. Smiling, the observer commented on how romantic it was to see a couple still holding hands after so many years.
The husband chuckled and offered an honest explanation. “We’ve been holding hands in public for over thirty years,” he said. Then he added with a grin, “I have to. If I let go, she shops.”
Holding hands is not just about romance. It’s about staying connected, staying close, and moving through life together rather than drifting apart.
Scripture often uses physical images to describe spiritual realities. To “walk with God” is to live in ongoing closeness with him. The psalmist says, “The Lord holds me by my right hand” (Psalm 73:23). That image is powerful. God doesn’t just point us in the right direction and hope we find our way. He stays near. He holds on. He guides our steps.
Like that wife in the mall, we sometimes wander when left to ourselves. Our attention is easily pulled in a hundred different directions. Desires, distractions, worries, and temptations all call out to us like storefront windows. Before we know it, we’re a long way from where we intended to be. Holding hands with God keeps us grounded. It reminds us whose we are and where we’re going.
There’s also a lesson here about our relationships with one another. Holding hands requires intention. You can’t do it from a distance. You have to slow down, match pace, and be willing to stay close. In a world that often values independence and speed, God calls us to faithful presence, to walking alongside one another in patience and love.
What began as a lighthearted joke becomes a gentle reminder. Stay connected. Hold on. Walk together. Whether in marriage, friendship, or faith, the simple act of staying close can keep us from wandering and help us to arrive where we truly belong. ~Alan Smith
