IN THE HAND OF JESUS

 Jesus told a spiritually hungry man one night, "The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit (John 3:8)."  If you want to experience the marvelous wonder of amazing grace join up with Jesus and you will be in for the ride of your life.

If you follow Jesus He will most likely tell you to set your sails according to His will and then the winds of the Spirit of God will take you over and move you forward into places where you will know your life can’t be explained by the natural flow of things, but only by the abiding presence of the God who loves you with an everlasting love.

We serve a God who is the Maker of heaven and earth, who opens and no one closes, who closes and no one opens.  God can’t be contained, explained, or controlled.  He is the God with whom nothing is impossible (Matt. 19:26).    Psalm 145:3 says that God “is most worthy of praise! No one can measure His greatness” (NLT). On top of all this Isaiah 40:28 tells us that God “does not faint or grow weary.”

The winds of God are blowing today.  Let’s set our sails and go wherever God’s “good and acceptable and perfect will” takes us (See. Romans 12:2). 

Remember the Jesus’ movement song of 1970 and these words, “Put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee?”  I think we ought to do it.

                        Put your hand in the hand of the Man

                        Who stilled the water.

Put your hand in the hand of the Man

Who calmed the sea.

No ordinary man, mind you.  Jesus, the Son of God.

The wind is blowing.
