Safe in the hands of God

Posted on December 22, 2021December 21, 2021 by Norm

PLEASE READ THIS FIRST: John 10:22-30

What do you sense the Lord saying to you in this passage?

“I and the Father are one.” (John 10:30)
Debates have raged through the centuries about this.
How can the eternal God and a human being be one.
The bible teaches that there is only one God (Romans 3:30, Ephesians 4:6)
It teaches a special link between God and Jesus (1 Corinthians 8:6).
Jesus as the Word of God made flesh, to live among us (John 1:1,14)
Jesus as the fullness of God in human form (Colossians 1:19, 2:9-10)
Or as Jesus says it here, the other hand of God.
I do not pretend to understand HOW this works, I just accept it.
I believe it experientially, by resting in their two hands!
In Jesus we see the hand of God reaching down to us, to help us.
Jesus is the other hand of God – in their two hands, we are secure.
Don’t get bogged down into trying to explain it, allow yourself to experience it.
“No one will snatch them out of my hand…
No one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.” (John 10:28-29)

PRAYER
Lord, with You and God by my side, I am secure. Nothing can separate me from Your loving hands.

    Am I in the flock of the Lord? Thank you for giving us this simple check – “my sheep listen to my voice, I know them, and they follow me.”

    Help me follow and most importantly listen! Help me when I rely on my own voices instead of yours and give me the strength to fight through the noise that distracts me from you. Lord help me be known by you, and among those that can never be snatched from your hands.

    Sometimes I wonder if I’ll trip up so badly and fall into a downward spiral that will isolate me from Jesus. This passage is reassuring: “no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.” I am comforted, yet I know I must remain vigilant. Even in prosperity and having all that I need, I must not become comfortable and think that I can take life easy – not while there is so much to do. Help me stay focused, Lord, as you stay focused on me – I am blessed to be in your hand!

    Only His sheep hear His voice saying, This is the Way. Walk in it. Walking/Living in the Way is the only way to live for Jesus. He will shed Light upon the path to eternal Life to all who are His followers. He is my Shepherd and I will continue to put my hand into His – that’s comfort. That’s Life. That’s living.

    Standing on the promises of Christ my King,
    Through eternal ages let His praises ring.
    Glory in the highest I will shout and sing
    I’m standing on the promises of God.
    Standing on the promises that cannot fail
    When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail.
    By the living word of God I shall prevail.
    I’m standing on the promises of God.
    Standing, standing, standing on the promises of God my Savior.
    Standing, standing, standing on the promises of God.
    What a fellowship, what a joy divine,
    Leaning on the everlasting arms.
    What a blessedness, what a peace is mine,
    Leaning on the everlasting arms.
    I’m leaning, leaning
    Safe and secure from all alarms.
    I’m leaning, I’m leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms
