Scripture
Deuteronomy 28:1-6
If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God: You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country. The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks. Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed. You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.
Observation
He’s got the itty bitty baby in His hands
He’s got the you and me brother in His hands
He’s got you and me sister in His hands
He’s got the whole world in His hands
Application
So many people take these verses wrong. They use them to try and prove there is no God or that He is a mean God who lies. Their interpretation of blessings is we as Christians should never have anything bad happen to us. Some even try to say if something does happen we must have done something to anger God. None of this is true. Bad things do happen to good people that fully obey the Lord. These verses mean the entire time He has you in His hands. He will walk through it with you.. The blessing isn’t a’ways to keep you from harm, sometimes it is He will get you through it.
Prayer
Lord thank you for keeping me in your arms. Sometimes I know they cover me to keep me safe. Other times your arm is around me to walk with me. Either way, you always have me in your hands. ~Amen
