The Invisible Hand

Text: Ezekiel 37:1 (KJV)

The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones.

Have you ever realized there are many hidden hands around you? The truth is that these unseen hands are not visible with our physical eyes neither with our binocular lenses, but they carry us to our safe land both in the spiritual realm and the physical realm. It is an invisible hand of protection. It can carry you to any destination and can also bring you back safely; you may not see it, but it is around you, and it is wide and safe. Most of us may think we are strong enough and can carry ourselves, but the truth is, can you carry yourself in the spiritual realm? Most of the time, we fail in many things because we put all our confidence in ourselves, but this is a horrible attitude. We need to admit we need His hand because this world has many unseen things happening, but the amazing part is that we have a great God who is all-knowing and all-loving around us. 1 Corinthians 10:26- For the earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof. The best part is that this invisible hand always sees a center of safety despite the destruction around. When in this destructive environment, this hand becomes heavier and wilder to match up with those situations on the ground. The good news is that He swallows those evil arrows with His invisible hands. Psalms 95:4- In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also. When you get to this point, you become even more comfortable with His hand around, and you enjoy all-round peace.

It is better for you to fall into His hands than to fall into the hands of man, although His mercies are new every morning, we need to be very careful. 2Samuel 24:14-And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall now into the hand of the Lord; for his mercies are great: and let me not fall into the hand of man. Man will always have a lot of limitations, but that is not the same with God, because His hands will always be a shield to you at all times. Let us learn not to seek our own hands because the scriptures say; on our own, we can do nothing, but remember, His hands are the compass that guides us. Imagine, He has the whole world in his hands, like the cloud without a pillar. Wherever we are now, his invisible hands extend to that corner; that is why we are sure of safety. When the wicked have planned evil or even when we make mistakes, this invisible hand still protects us. He holds the deepest part of the earth in his hands and rules over the whole earth from the caves to highest hills, so let us remember God has a strong and mighty hand, and He is ever ready to carry us to a place of pleasures. His hand hides us from the enemies because his hand is wide enough to swallow the thousand that fall at our right hand. Therefore, let us be careful not to be in the wrong place, so as to continue to enjoy the benefits of His invisible hand of protection. I pray God will help us, in Jesus name.
