    Today, we are going to talk about the mighty hands of God. In fact, there are approx. 122 Bible references concerning His hands. Most of these passages talk about the hand of God involved in the creation of the world. But one of my favorite verses that talks about His hand is found in Isaiah 49:16 ...read more
