The Whole World

 I grew up with the song “He’s got the whole world in His hands”. 

 I grew up with lots of songs about my Jesus, but that one popped into my brain very strongly as I was writing a text message this afternoon. I had just finished a fairly intense Bible study about listening to God’s prompting. About Elijah and Elisha being amazing men, but reminding us that God was the one who was even more amazing. 

 Deep thoughts. Heavy thoughts. Inspiring and beautiful.

 Yet what God gave me to write was a children’s song. 

So I felt the need to look into those words. To see what I was missing, what God was teaching me, what heavy thoughts God was leading me to. 

What I found was beautiful, and inspiring, and breathtaking and yet… simple. 

Truth often is, my friends. Simple. 

Just as Zion held this baby chick a few weeks ago, God holds us. In His hands!

Plain and simple.

 Now, what He asks us to do isn’t always simple. How he asks us to respond while we are in His hand…. that is a different story. 

 But He holds us, in His hands! 

 Be confident of that my friends. When you ask, He hears. 

 Please, look at that first verse again. 

 

All things- the Whole World- is in His hands. 

Be blessed my friends and be confident that He is holding you!
