"Put it in god's Hands"

Put it in God’s Hands

Someone by the name of Martin Luther once said something to think about, he said “I have held many things in my hands and I have lost them all but, whatever I have placed in God’s hands that I still possess.” Think about what we’re being told here; everything that this man has held on to and put his hands on, everything that he’s tried to fix and change he’s lost it all. He’s been unsuccessful with. But, he says whatever I have placed in God’s hands that “I still possess.”

In other words, he’s saying I’ve had better success in life when I’ve left things in God’s hands. And so that’s what I want to encourage you to do today, leave it in God’s hands. That means pray about it.

Stand on God’s word concerning that issue or problem, fast and believe God for it. But more importantly leave it in the hands of the Master. And let me tell you this when you take things into your hands you are being disobedient to God, because the Bible says Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will direct your paths…or make your paths straight.

1 Peter 5:7 (AMP) says Casting all your cares all your anxieties all your worries and all your concerns once and for all on him for he cares about you with deepest affection and watches over you very carefully.

Furthermore, Philippians 4:6-7 says Be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication; with Thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. This is telling you that if you have something you’re worried about… pray about it, make your requests known to God and leave it in His hands. If there is something that’s making you anxious the Bible tells you to cast ALL, your cares on Jesus Christ.

If there’s an issue with your children, job, spouse, finances health or even if there’s a private sin you’re wrestling with, whatever it is remember that we are not to worry about anything; instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all he has done. Only then can you and I experience God’s peace which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.’
