This
picture was entitled “the hands of God”. At first I didn’t see
it, but after awhile, it came to me. This made me think of an old
song I remember from my childhood.
Laurie London - He's Got The Whole World In His Hands 1958
Lyrics
to “He has the whole world in his hands”
He's
got the whole world in his hands
He's
got the whole world in his hands
He's got the whole world in his hands
He's got the whole world in his hands
He's got the little bitty baby in his hands
He's got the little bitty baby in his hands
He's got the little bitty baby in his hands
He's got the whole world in his hands
He's got you and me, brother, in his hands
He's got you and me, sister, in his hands
He's got you and me, brother, in his hands
He's got the whole world in his hands
He's got everybody here in his hands
He's got everybody here in his hands
He's got everybody here in his hands
He's got the whole world in his hands
He's got the whole world in his hands
He's got the whole wide world in his hands
He's got the whole world in his hands
He's got the whole world in his hands
He's got the whole world in his hands
He's got the whole world in his hands
He's got the little bitty baby in his hands
He's got the little bitty baby in his hands
He's got the little bitty baby in his hands
He's got the whole world in his hands
He's got you and me, brother, in his hands
He's got you and me, sister, in his hands
He's got you and me, brother, in his hands
He's got the whole world in his hands
He's got everybody here in his hands
He's got everybody here in his hands
He's got everybody here in his hands
He's got the whole world in his hands
He's got the whole world in his hands
He's got the whole wide world in his hands
He's got the whole world in his hands
He's got the whole world in his hands
A
simple song, with a lot of repetition, but it gets the message
across: God has got the whole world in his hands. You know, I needed
to hear this because as I viewed breitbart’s pictures that defined
the year 2019 today, I saw that conflict, up-rest and violence was
the predominant message. But there is another message out there and
the picture and the song tells it strikingly. God cares for us. But,
lets just listen to Jesus, himself:
Matthew
6 ( World
English
Bible
)
[25] Therefore, I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what
you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you
will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than
clothing? [26] See the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow,
neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father
feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they? [27] “Which
of you, by being anxious, can add one moment* literally, cubit to his
lifespan? [28] Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the
lilies of the field, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do
they spin, [29] yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was
not dressed like one of these. [30] But if God so clothes the grass
of the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is thrown into the
oven, won’t he much more clothe you, you of little faith? [31]
“Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’,
‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’
[32] For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly
Father knows that you need all these things. [33] But seek first
God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be
given to you as well.
God
is in control. Don’t worry, just seek him. He will take care of
you. Think about that the next time you see a bird. God cares!
