Hi Brian!

The word for this week is "hands". We'll be looking at these two protions of Scripture from the Old Testament:

Psalm 8:4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. 6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: KJV

Ps 111:7  The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure. 8 They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness. KJV

These are both the Hebrew word "Yad". Strong's Concordance says: a primitive word, a hand thr open one indicating power, means, direction. Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew concordance adds: strength, power. The Theological Word Book of the Old Testament adds: the hand symbolized "power" or "strength. WE, having received JESUS as LORD and SAVIOUR, have placed ourselves in the HAND of GOD! THAT is a very safe and powerful place to be! HE will never leave us, forsake us, or let us down. WE can TRUST HIM with every part of our lives. I especially like the encouragement that comes from this song from Brandon Lake's new album, called "Palm Of Your Hand":

Love and Shalom from the Swoveys!
