In His Hands

Our Heavenly Father "withholds" information from His child because its better in His Hands than ours.

He "holds - with" care, 
for the right time. 

In due season.

While we wait, 

we are tested...

will we trade trust, 
for knowledge,

like Thomas?

Unless I see and touch?

We are more ready to move, 

than be still and listen.

We want more control, 

rather than to let Him lead.

To Have knowledge, 

rather than to Hold Trust.

Father I bless You and acknowledge

ALL things are in Your hands

You allow our consequences 

yet limit their severity

You permit our self-inflicted calamities 

and yet measure the extent of their damage

You leave room for our clumsy falling,

 but limit the depths of the pits we fall into

You allow the fire to consume our poor work, yet still see our heart's good intentions

You watch us set snares with our own lips and rescue us from our own foolish traps

All we do is in Your hands

the successful and the failures

the triumphs and the tragedies

the good and the bad

Thank You for being big enough 

to keep it ALL under control

Thank You for having such BIG HANDS!
