Psalm 139:5 You hem me in—behind and before;you have laid your hand upon me.
Were it any other hand it would be a hand of control and I would resist it. But because it is His hand I embrace it. His hand is gracious, tender, creative, life giving, and loving.
May His hand hold me, strengthen me, guide me, lead me, cover me, provide for me..
This hand is the beautiful nail peirced hands that broke bread and were broken by cruel nails and this is the hand that leads me.
I love this hand it has been good to me. It takes the broken and reforms it into something whole and solid and glorious to His name. So this day may your hand be apon me... It is a good hand..... your grace is irresistable.
The Theological Musings of a Inner City Missionary... The term Christian Hedonist comes from Dr John Pipers book Desiring God where he describes the Christians Quest for Joy that is found in the Glory of God and the Enjoyment of Him. Following the Missionary God in His Mission results in delight for me and Glory for Him, may the Nations be Glad!
