Put your hand into the hand of the man

The other day, the Good Lord brought this song back to my heart and mind.  I have to admit, it was not one of my favorite songs years ago.  It had a catchy tune and I remember singing it in elementary school, it was suppose to be one of those safe religious songs that you could sing in a secular public school.  Later I would see TV actors sing it when they wanted to be / show they were religious. Well, that was just my observation. :-(

Then the other day, in the stillness of my morning ride to work, in my Ford F-150  pickup truck, God started to speak to me again about this song.  First, we see an invitation .  Come to Jesus by putting your hand into His hand.  And this is what we did at salvation, we put our sinful life into the hand Jesus for salvation.  There something about a hand shake or a deal consummated by a hand shake.  Yet this song invites us to spiritually and literally put our hand into His hand, which  is, by the way,  very open for you.

But secondly, this song is an identifier,  as it says put your hand into the man that "stilled" the waters and calmed the sea.  Well, the application is there.  In the old testament in Psalms 23, "lead us by still water", we would learn later that sheep liked stilled waters, and what better place is there, than to drink by stilled waters for you thirst.

Then that hand, His Hand not only stilled the waters, but it calmed the sea, especially the raging sea and the stormy sea.  As He lifted His hand and said peace be still.  Oh truly, we have a wonderful Savior, we see His power, his peace and His passion for His people.

Then thirdly, we see a great insight, for when you take a look at yourself, after you accepted His hand, you will look on others differently.  Your insight and perspective to life will change.  A change that only The Good Lord can change. By taking the hand, accepting the man of Galilee.

SO PUT YOUR HAND INTO THE MAN FROM GALILEE !!

WOW, I had to repent and I see the message in the song. It's there and it's for me and for you. PRAISE - THE - LORD  !!

So today, will you take the hand of the man that stilled the water, will you take the hand of the man that calmed the sea.  This man, the man, The Lord Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, second part of the holy trinity.

OH, please, call on Him today !! For with the heart man believes and with mouth confession is made, for whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

God Bless you,
