God's Hands

Am upset with angry thoughts of a not-too-intelligent, self righteous boss. Feel like killing her. But in all circumstances, I choose to praise God and I choose to focus on God.

Was reminded of God's hands. Many years ago, I had vision of a hand piercing through the dark clouds, with lights beaming out of the fingers. The image comforted me. It was God's hands.

Just a few weeks ago, during a bible class in church, during the ministry time, I had thoughts about a small girl facing troubles in the world. As the girl looks up to heaven and reaches out to God, He scooped her up and carried her in His arms. She buried her face in His shoulders. Then she smiled at Him. He held her for a little while more and He put her down to stand beside Him, and held her tiny hand. Together, they looked down at the troubles. Then they turned to each other and smiled. He lead her down the stairs to return to the troubles. She walked down and stopped to look back at Him. He smiled and urged her "go on". She smiled and went back to the troubles. And she smiled at the troubles and kept looking upwards. That girl was me.

Today, angry at the injustice as I am, I and reminded of these images and God's hands.

Isaiah 40:12 states so clearly about God's big and mighty hands :-

"Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hands,

Measured heaven with a span

And calculated the dust of the earth in a measure?

Weighed the mountains in scale

And the hills in a balance?"

Got this from a website:
QUOTE
The total volume of the oceans is 1.369x10^9 km3 =0.13% of total volume of the earth. This is a cube 1.369 BILLION kilometers or 850,696,600 miles on each side. This is approximately 687 decillion gallons of water. A decillion is one with 33 zeroes after it. A trillion is one with 12 zeroes after it. We assume that God used this measure once when He measured the waters in the oceans. Can you imagine a hand big enough to hold that volume of water in the small hollow of the palm?

God's hand can span the universe and He puts the stars in it place.
What is more than the sand of this earth? The stars.

Imagine. My God is that BIG.
So God, I trust in You.

"Into Your hand I commit my spirit;

You have redeemed me, O LORD God of truth ...

My times are in Your hand;

Deliver me from the hand of my enemies;

And from those who persecute me ..."

- Psalms 31:5,15 -
