God Holds Us In His Hands
Do you want to feel more loved by God in your day to day life?
This might be mushy for some of us, but let us never forget that God is multifaceted in his nature and character. This is but one side of him, an often unknown side. For a fuller treatment, see Is God Our King Or Father?
implications of his care
We are told in scripture many times that we are held by God. There is a peace that comes when we are reminded, I am in God's hands. He is wise and He is loving and He is perfectly on time. He is not indifferent about the anxieties I carry. He cares. He's going to take care of me.
He’s going to plan my life and guide me. And that guidance is informed by his love, planned in his wisdom, and timed in his sovereignty. God does not comfort us from afar, but nearness.
Psalm 27:10 Even if my father and mother abandon me, the LORD will hold me close.
Isaiah 41:10 Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.
Isaiah 41:13 For I am the LORD your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.
Psalm 63:8 My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.
Isaiah 46:4 I will be your God throughout your lifetime – until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you.
Isaiah 49:16 Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me.
Psalm 139:10 Even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.
Psalm 73:23 Yet I still belong to you; you hold my right hand.
Be encouraged wherever you find yourself. You are in His hands.
Warmly,
Josh.
