My World Is In His Hands

" He's got the whole world in his hands......."

I remember singing that song as a child. It made me feel safe to know that God had the whole world sitting in his hands. 
I would close my eyes and picture the earth sitting securely  in two gianormous hands , hands that held on tightly to us all. And occasionally picturing the earth spinning on his finger as a basketball just for fun.

( I was child, with a huge imagination I might add.  )

The innocence of a child's trust in a being so powerful and yet unseen to the human eye is a beauty all on its own. 
It can not be described justly in words, only witnessed in sweet awe. 

It's when we become adults our child like trust can become easily compromised.
From hardships in life......
To pain that has taken root in our very being.
 Our attitude may become one of; " Yeah the world may be in the palm of His hand, but were is my world sitting?"

My world has no job......
My world has no home.......
My world has major health issues.......
My world is filled with children that have gone astray......
My world is filled with addictions.........
My world is filled with broken relationships......
My world by all accounts is alone.......
My world is utterly hopeless and broken.

Many times in life due to our circumstances and situations we may feel disconnected and alone.
Maybe even displaced......
 Like our worlds are spinning  out of control, but not like a basketball on the steady finger of God.

Truth is.......
We are still sitting in the palm of His hands. 

I have learned it all goes back to my trust as a child....
The trust I had in the unseen....
The image of those gianormous hands holding me tight.....
The beauty of a child's innocent trust and security in her daddy God.

I have learned that He is forever......

My deliverer........

Psalm 91:2-3

² I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I [confidently] trust!

³ For [then] He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.

2 Timothy 4:18

¹⁸ [And indeed] the Lord will certainly deliver and ^[a]draw me to Himself from every assault of evil. He will preserve and bring me safe unto His heavenly kingdom. To Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen (so be it).

My protector..........

Proverbs 30:5

⁵ Every word of God is tried and purified; He is a shield to those who trust and take refuge in Him.

^{Psalm 25:1-2}

¹ Unto You, O Lord, do I bring my life.

² O my God, I trust, lean on, rely on, and am confident in You. Let me not be put to shame or [my hope in You] be disappointed; let not my enemies triumph over me.

I am so thankful He reminds me daily who He is in my life......
My deliverer, protector, healer,and redeemer.
My daddy God!
When my world starts spinning, I close my eyes and softly hum, " He's got MY whole world in his hands"
I see His hands holding me and all that I love tightly.
I feel His presence.....
I hear His voice......
I see His love......
I look to the cross.......
I simply trust the unseen and believe in the one who holds us all safely in the palm of His hands. 

No matter my situation or circumstances....
I am safe. 
My whole world is in His hands.........
