God's Hands

How does God wants us to be “Jesus to the world”?

Look at Isaiah 35:3-4 Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way; say to those with fearful hearts,” Be strong, do not fear; your God will come,  he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you.”

Praising the Lord might be more than when I put my hands up during a worship service.

Here are four ways God wants us to use our hands:
Our Hands need to be Out
 This shows concern for others, and causes me to do something for someone else.

Our Hands need to be On
This shows caring for the least of these. It is God working through us as His hands and feet. If the redemptive work of Christ is to continue believers must get involved in other’s lives.

Our Hands need to be Up
This shows a changed life, and our relationship with God is the most important thing in our lives.

Our Hands need to be Open
This shows choosing to do things God’s way, and not our way.
It allows the Lord to give and take as we give up control.

How to be His Hands
Study but depend on His wisdom.
Be prepared but pray for His power.
Be willing to go but follow His directions.
Live a good life but call on Christ for forgiveness.

Let's rely on God’s strength to be His hands today and always. Amen?
