HAND

Peter told his readers to 'humble themselves under the mighty hand of God.' He wanted them to know -- people who were withering under intense persecution - that God was in total control. God was refining them in His great hand.

You and I aren't under any kind of persecution like the early Christians were, but we are no less in the mighty hand of a great God.

If you are a believer, God's mighty hand has created you TWICE. First in your mother’s womb. Then, when you came to faith, He created you ... again.

You were dead in your sins, but God re-created you in new life. Your new birth was all of God and none of you. God’s mighty hand did it.

I was just reminded of His great hand while we were with our grandson over Christmas. At one point, we both took a little nap and this picture was shot -- his hand and my hand.

And be blessed.

That's beautiful sight in your pic. There is nothing like being a grandparent and getting re-live the joy of raising your kids. It is such a blessing that God created these precious little children for us to love and cherish.

My brand-new grandson, Nathan, isn't much younger than Elias. We can swap baby pics! :)

Yes, please DO keep up the great blogging! Reading what you have to say about God is one of the highlights of my day! :)
