He's Got The Whole World In His Hands

Psalm 24:1 (NLT) says "The earth is the LORD's and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to him" (emphasis added). Think about that for a minute. EVERYTHING belongs to God. Absolutely everything. ALL the people on this planet are carried in His hands.

Yesterday I was praying about a challenging situation which I am dealing with at the moment. Have you noticed that when there is something important in our line of vision, that is what can become our vision? We can focus on it, devote time and effort and energy to it and devise ways to handle it, fix it, improve it etc. It is so easy to lose perspective, lose heart and lose faith.

During this time of prayer, God really spoke to me and reminded me, through Psalm 24:1, that He is very BIG and I am very small. Such a simple idea but I've found over the years that it is often the simple things which are the profound things. Yes, I still have to see this thing through to the end and it may get messy! However, my faith was strengthened. I felt God draw near to me and reassure me. God reached down from heaven and stepped into my situation. To me it is a big deal and I want it resolved but to Him it is held perfectly and solidly in His hands. His perfect will will prevail and I can trust in Him. What an amazing Kingdom Lesson!

The old children's song says it all, "He's got the whole world in His hands, He's got the whole world in his hands, He's got the whole world in His Hands, the whole world in His hands."

Have a good weekend, see you back here on Monday for more blogging!
