WHAT IS THAT IN THINE HAND?
THE LORD HOLDS OUR HAND
The Lord has been so good to us. We just want to thank him & praise him for everything he has done & going to do. We can't even walk without the Lord holding our hand.
GOD HAS US IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND
We know where our help comes from, today. God has us in the palm of his hand. Even we don't know, he has it all in control. We may think what we have a desire for is the will of the Lord, & he has another plan...walk on & just say yes.
GOD HAS CONTROL
We just thank him for his mercy...his grace. We don't always know what is going on or why God does the things that he does. But we know one thing when he has control you don't have to worry about it. He will take us, & he will put us where he wants us. He will help us to do the things we need to do. He will give us the very present help that we are looking for.
LAY IT AT HIS FEET
In time of need, in time of trouble & distress, God is always there to help you. Say it with me, "I can't even walk without you holding my hand". How many feels like you have your hand in God's big hand? Everything that is going on in your life, lay it at his feet.
CAST ALL YOUR CARE UPON HIM
The Bible said, "Casting your care upon him for he careth for you".
Cast your burdens upon the Lord, & he shall substain thee.
You want to know how to stand...you want to know how to be strong? Cast it all on the Lord. That is where the help comes from.
THE LORD AND MOSES
When the Lord was ready to deliver the children of Israel out of Egypt's bondage, Moses went to the Lord when he was there on the mountain. He was talking to him out of the burning bush. The Lord asked him, "What is that in thine hand?" Moses said,"It is a rod.' He said, "Cast it on the ground." He took that rod, & he cast it down to the ground. It turned into a serpent. Moses was afraid of it. The Lord told him not to be fearful to reach down & pick it up again. When he did, it became a staff.
I want to tell you again..."What is that in thine hand?"
DO YOU HAVE JESUS IN YOUR HAND
When Moses said it was a rod, the Lord knew better than just a simple, old rod. You say, "Well, I've got my hand in my brother or sister's hand. I have people I can reach out to that will help me along the way."
Do you really realize what that is? Do you realize the strength of what is in your hand? You have your brother & your sister...you have the Lord in your hand...you have the gospel that God has given you to be able to live by...the truth, the word, the way. You have Jesus in your hand.
FIGHTING EVIL
If you will take what God has given you, you can fight everything that the devil has to give at you.
The Bible said, "They bend their bows to shoot their arrows." God has a bow in your hand today. You can shoot & break that arrow in mid-flight. Praise His Holy name!
TRUST & BELIEVE
God has everything we need, today. All we have to do is trust in him...trust & believe. He said he would be there everytime you need him...
"I will never leave you nor forsake you. I will go with you alway even until the end of the world."
THERE IN THE MIDST
When everybody else forsakes you...when everybody turns their back on you, he is there in the midst of the darkest night.

Consider what we say, and the Lord will give you understanding in all things.
