"Hands"

Have you ever considered how important your hands are?  We use our hands for styling our hair, putting on our makeup, brushing our teeth, putting on our clothes and shoes, bathing and showering, cooking, cleaning, turning the pages of a book, opening a door, driving a car, holding a loved one’s hand, picking a beautiful flower, writing a note, etc.  The list goes on and on.  Without our hands, it would be difficult to function and enjoy our everyday lives.

More important than our human hands are the hands of God. His hands formed our very being. He fashioned and designed us just the way he wanted, and His hands put together the puzzle pieces of our lives day by day.  Consider how important the hands of God are.

The hands of God protect us.   God shelters us physically, mentally, and emotionally as we seek the umbrella of His protection. 

The hands of God direct our life much like a conductor directs the orchestra. God knows every part of our life and how it fits together perfectly.

The hands of God support us.  Have you ever had difficulty walking, been so tired you feel like you cannot go on, or been faced with devastating news? That’s when the hands of God hold on to you and help you put one foot ahead of the other.

The hands of God soothe and calm our souls.  Are you worried, preoccupied with what the future holds, upset over circumstances and relationships?  Ask God to give you that special peace that only He can provide.  It’s a peace that only comes from Him.

The hands of God heal broken relationships, tired souls, and diseased bodies all in accordance with God’s will, not our will.

As I look back over the years I have lived, I can see God’s hands at work.  Many times I didn’t understand, I questioned God, and doubted God was anywhere near.  All the while, God was at work putting together His plan for my life.

Through it all I learned to depend upon Him.   I learned to walk hand in hand with Him.  Our God is a God of ultimate power.  He is a God of unlimited means.  He is a God of forgiveness, and most importantly a God of unconditional love.
