In the Palm of His Hands
The World Is Weightless In The Palm Of His Hands
How powerful is God?
His strength is beyond what our minds can even imagine.
The whole world is weightless in the palm of His hands.
Weightless!
Here’s the gold nugget to all of this:
The world is weightless, but not worthless.
God loves and delights in us so much that He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ.
We must put our faith only in Him.
20I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. – Galatians 2:20, KJV, in the Public Domain.
Finding Comfort in the Palm of His Hands
Have you ever tried to pick up something heavy, whether it’s a big box or a piece of furniture?
You approach the object, get yourself in place, bend your knees, then try to lift up.
Aye yai yai! That hurts.
You may get the object to move a little, but more times than we’d like to admit, we drop the object on the floor and call out to the closest person with muscles we can find.
We cry out, “Help!!!!!”
But God.
God is invincible; He doesn’t need any help. He especially doesn’t need any help from us!
That’s comforting to think about when it seems like the world is spinning out of control.
I can’t bear the headlines sometimes, but God has us in the palm of His hands, and He goes before us, no matter what or how bad the circumstances.
As humans, we get so caught up in the “what if’s” and the discouraging details. We can’t see the forest for the trees.
We often miss the big picture, but God never does
God has the big picture in mind, and someday, we will all understand how He has woven together the circumstances of our lives into something beautiful.
There’s a song I’ve loved for years now, sung by one of my favorite vocalist/musicians ever – Alison Krauss. She had a birthday recently, and I remember listening to this song again and appreciating the Godly values in the lyrics.
Faith can see right through the circumstance,
sees the forest in spite of the trees,
Your Grace provides for me.
– “In The Palm Of Your Hand.” From the album, Now That I’ve Found You: A Collection. Ron Block, songwriter, January 13, 2015.
God bless you this week!
