God's hand part 3

What does it mean to be in God’s hands? It means your life is no longer in your hands and you are in a place of His covering, control, and care. His hands brought Israel out of Egypt and divided the Red Sea (with a strong hand and an outstretched arm; Psalm 136:12), and He will keep and deliver you with those same all-powerful hands. It also means that you have found your resting place, your sure place, and your place of deepest contentment.

K. R. Hagenbach wrote, “Without murmur, uncomplaining, in His hand….” There is no room for complaint and discontent in the heart that is at rest in God’s hands.

R. Cech wrote, “When we wish things to be otherwise than they are, we lose sight of the great practical parts of the life of godliness.…Fall quietly into the hands of God.”

Are you frustrated, anxious, troubled? Quiet yourself, you are in the hands of God. As you live in a world of so much uncertainty, discontent, and turmoil it is important to quietly reaffirm each morning that your life and times are in His hands. Every time you allow an attitude of discontent to settle into your heart, your whole disposition becomes troubled and you fail to live in God’s perfect peace.

E. B. Pusey had five practical guidelines to help guard the heart against discontentment:

1. Never complain about anything, not even the weather.

2. Never picture yourself to be under a different set of circumstances than you are presently in.

3. Never compare your lot with that of another.

4. Never allow yourself to dwell on the wish that this or that had been, or were, otherwise than it was, or is.

5. Never dwell on tomorrow. Remember it is God’s, and not yours.

Now godliness with contentment is great gain. 1 Timothy 6:6 NKJV
