God's hands - All The Good Seed Daily Devotionals for 2025

Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, measured heaven with a span and calculated the dust of the earth in a measure? Weighed the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance?
Isaiah 40:12

God's hands
I had accidentally knocked over my glass. Now the water was flowing over the edge of the table to the floor. In my embarrassment, I tried to catch the liquid with my bare hands - but in vain! Most of the water ran through my fingers. Only a fraction remained in my palms. The rest formed a puddle at my feet.

Some days my life feels very similar. I try to solve problems, correct mistakes and change adverse circumstances. No matter how hard I try, my weak, ineffectual hands can hardly make a difference. Often, I am completely helpless in the face of a situation and cannot cope with what comes my way.

But God can! With His cupped hand He is able to measure the waters of the whole earth. He is all- powerful. His hands are big enough to hold everything. When we feel powerless, we can entrust our cares and worries to our strong and wise God. He always keeps track of our lives.

Don't we want to learn afresh today to hand over our worries to Him and wait for His help? How happy our God and Father is when we put our trust in Him! He will never disappoint one of His children who takes Him at His word: "Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass" (Psalm 37:5).

Today's reading: Numbers 35:1-15, Matthew 18:1-14
