My Father’s Hands
Isaiah 45:12 says, “I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.” It is amazing to think that the hands that made the mighty universe also hand-craft every child in the womb. “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee… before thou camest forth out of the womb…” (Jeremiah 1:5)
I had the privilege to hold our small baby boy, Titus, moments after birth and see what God’s hands had crafted–how amazing His handiwork. I can say with the psalmist, “I will praise thee; for [he was] fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.” (Psalm 139:14) Every feature was crafted with love and care and was perfect–a perfect little baby.
I need to tell you that I trust God’s hands. They are the loving hands of my Heavenly Father. Those hands are the hands of provision, protection, and peace. Now has come a time when I have to trust those hands with my son. I can trust Him.
