God's Open Hand


“Great is the Lord, and highly to be praised; and His greatness is unsearchable. – The Lord is gracious and merciful; slow to anger and great in lovingkindness. The Lord is good to all, and His mercies are over all His works. All Thy works shall five thanks to Thee, O Lord, and Thy godly sones shall bless Thee. – The Lord sustains all who fall, and raises up all who are bowed down. The eyes of all look to Thee, and Thou dust give them their food in due time. Thou dost open Thy hand, and dost satisfy the desire of every living thing.” Psalm 145:3, 8-10, 14-16

Think about God’s hand. Not just His hand in your life, but what He holds in His hand. Not just “the cattle on a thousand hills” (meaning the sum total of all wealth of the world), but all creatures, the earth, the universes (no matter how unsearchable or uncharted to scientists) and the heart and soul of every human being that ever breathes. His hand is THAT big.

Stay near God's Word. Take care. Your servant & friend in Christ, Darlene

PS: Carla called to say the Lord is working mightily through this loss. Her mother seems stronger yet still needs prayer. Pray for Carla as she prepares to return home. And pray for her Mom and Paul (who has been carrying the weight of the family in her absence). Pray for David and Adrian who continue to recover from ongoing health battles. Pray for Tim and Barb who I miss so much. And for Bill who suddenly lost his job after seven years.
