Job 27:11. “I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.”
IN THE HAND OF GOD. All around me are dangers, none of which I can control. Demons and forces of evil surround, trying to conquer my soul. But in this place where I rest, there is no fear in my heart. Here in the hand of God, there is rest which He does impart.
I venture out to reach others, and in this way God’s will fulfill. And I find even as I move among crowds of people, I’m in His hand still. He doesn’t leave me unprotected even though the god of this world –
Seeks to bring me down in defeat as against me accusations are hurled.
The roads I travel seem to be getting longer and yet I have no fear – I spite of all the dangers on each side, I know that God is here – And holds back with His hand dangers unseen and even those I see, The calm assurance that I am in His hand brings lasting comfort to me.
The moral darkness of the days in which my lot is cast – Remind me that things will get much worse before these days will pass. “Evil men and seducers will wax worse and worse.” But I am safely in His hand, and protected from sin’s curse.
There is no power in earth or hell that can take me from His hand. The Father has embraced me tight and the Son is the outer band. Through the downfall of the nations and the collapse of all that men trust, Those who are in the hand of God, know He really does care for us.
There is no place on earth where sinful man can hide. But here in the safety of God’s hand is where I will abide. Not only in divine protection here, but there is fellowship with Him. A little foretaste of future joys, right here in His hand begins.
I do look out at the world at large and wonder where it all will end. I wonder how far God will allow things to go, or what the next calamity will bring In an effort to give mankind another opportunity to repent. Here in the hand of God I remain; in spite of all, here I will be content.
“There are so many changes happening, Father, that I really cannot discern which are from natural causes and what is divine intervention. I guess I don’t need to know, so I will just be content here, resting in Thee. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.”
