Today, I scratched my hand while cleaning chicken. It was a tiny weenie scratch, but, It hurt, so I decided to wait till later to cook the chicken, besides, I was being lazy too. :-). But, I realise, that, even if I hadn't been lazy, I would not have achieved the task of cooking comfortably, simply because of the tiny scratch !. You need your hands to be able to achieve most of your day to day activities. Your hands contain the richest source of tactile feedback in your body, and have the greatest positioning capability of the body, and which is why the sense of touch is associated with the hands. Apart from that, your hands signify your labour. You can also use your hands to communicate with people, so for instance, you can wave someone down with your hands. You can also use your hands to gesticulate or prove a point. Some people cannot talk without using their hands! I can go on and on about the use of your hands, but, that's not where we are going today!
I want to talk briefly about the Hand of God. In my little knowledge of the Bible, I have discovered that each time I read a verse about the arm of God, I become comforted, and at ease. God's Hands are very important to Him too. Let me tell you seven things about my darling Father's hands, which NO OTHER Hand can do in our lives:
The Hand of God is mighty and powerful: God's hand is not an ordinary hand. He has the whole world in his hands!, so imagine how big those hands are. The bible says in 2 Chronicles 20:6: And said, O LORD God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee?
The Hand of God is a hand of strength: When you are weak, and too tired to go on, rely in God's hands, he will give you the exact amount of strength you need: Ezra 7-8:And I was strengthened as the hand of the LORD my God was upon me, and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.
It is from God's hands, that you get prosperous: We have no other sure means of getting prosperity. I can assure you that if your prosperity comes from another source, you cannot enjoy it. Ecclesiastes 2:24 says: There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.
The Hand of God is a hand of destruction: Woe betide any enemy that seeks to destroy a child of God, who is abiding in His hands. In fact, this one is so sure that God declares in Deuteronomy 33 v39, ( hey! confess this Word with me): See now that I, even I am he, and there is no god with me: I kill and I make alive; I wound and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of mine hand. I can imagine God saying this particular Word. He repeats the "I even I" for a reason. Its for us to know that He is talking about HIMSELF, AND NO OTHER!.. Is any situation troubling you? Why don't cast it into God's hands today and see if that thing can continue to harrass you!
In God's Hands, you are protected. He has engraved you in his palms ( hands), and far from the oppressor.
God's hands are always outstretched to the sinner: When you sin, and repent, he opens his arms, widely to receive you. From afar, he runs towards you to grab you in a lovingly tight embrace. Psalm 136 v 12 says that God's mercy endures forever with 'His outstretched and strong arms'! What great comfort we have knowing that we will not be condemned for our sins
What great words! I mean I could go on and on about God's hands, I just wanted to outline a few facts about the Hand of God, and I pray that as you go about in your daily life, the Hand of the Almighty will encompass, favour and uphold you!.
God bless,
