The Hand of God

Oh how I love the hand of God,
The hand of God that destroys the enemies plan,
The hand, that in a moment can reverse the news, the report, the curse, the obvious, the intent to harm.

This is the hand of God that shut the lions mouth for Daniel,
That protected 3 men when they were thrown into the fire because they refused to bow down to the king,
That led Joshua and Caleb to Rahab's house and changed her destiny.
That led Ruth to the land of Israel, gave her a godly husband allowing her to be part of the genelogy of the 
    Messiah,
That moved the king to allow the captive Jews to wipe out their enemies, reversing the verdict that was  
    going to destroy the Jews,
That warned Joseph in a dream to flee to Egypt, protecting the Messiah's life....

This hand of God that has stirred the generations in countless ways...
Continues to protect and provide.

This is the hand of God
That responds to my tears which have flooded His heart.

And as He turns His head...He comes...

He comes with a jealous love, with avenging intent...to His beloved one who has called out to Him,
His hand... that is always there... although sometimes it is hidden in the darkness of the circumstance.

This is the hand that reaches down into the darkness..and rescues,
Drawing me to Himself from the depths of the despair...

This is the hand that breaks through with the brilliance of TRUTH ,
That comes...and sends the enemy running...in fear as He releases His mighty roar...
Declaring,"This is My beloved one. This is the one who has been set apart for My glory."
And He holds me tight
Leading me into that beautiful, broad place,
That place of freedom from fear, anxiety, despair, discouragement.

That beautiful, broad place,
Where His hand touches me,
And my mind is renewed,
Releasing hope and the promise of spring.
That beautiful, broad place
Where I experience His delight and pleasure,
And receive His wholeness and fullness.

The hand of God,
That moves as my cry comes to His ear.
The hand of God that moves because the purposes of God for His beloved ones cannot be thwarted!!!
