The Bible speaks of the Eyes of the Lord looking upon His people,(2Chron.16:9). We also read of the arm of the Lord bringing strength. I want to look today at the "Mighty Outstretched Hand of God."

Five times in the Book of Isaiah we read, "the hand of the Lord is stretched out still." (Is.5:25,9:12, 9:17,9:21,&10:4). I want to just list a few of the distinguishing powers that are characteristic of the Hand of our God. (A) His hand is so vast that the mighty oceans lie in the hollow of it. ...read more

Like A Hand In A Glove

Contributed by Craig Cramblet on Sep 1, 2004

I read a devotional by Corrie ten Boom and it stirred my imagination. This is really a children’s message/object lesson but certainly could be expanded to challenge any group of believers to fully surrender to God’s work in their lives.

If you want to expand the illustraion...the fragile, temporary nature of these gloves makes a point that a cotton or leather glove would not!) What is this? A glove. Actually, it is a specific kind of ...read more
