Whose Hand are YOU Holding?

 If you were in danger, or felt you needed help, which hand would you TRUST MOST?

Theme Scripture:   For I, the LORD your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.' – Isa 41:13

For the entirety of history humans have lived, they have met with difficult times and many times needed someone other than themselves to resolve important issues. Life saving issues, in particular, require deep consideration of all options and to decide which has the proven record. 

Also since the beginning of history, humans have sought to have power, have control and be the ‘go to’ for all problems. These have manifested themselves as governments, world powers, dictatorships, tyrannical rulers, fairly often the foregoing have been considered governments. Mostly, the ‘seat’ of power. Power over the souls living within their ruling power. Doesn’t matter if it was Nimrod, Pharaoh, Kings of Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome, Ottoman empire, Emperors, Royalty of any kind, democracies or republics they all assert and require obedience from their subjects, YOU! Of course they see themselves having all the right answers for YOUR troubles. Currently, there is a race to see which block of nations will be able to step up to the Global plate and be the ONE WORLD entity that dictates and wields power over every country on earth.

Asking you again, which hand would you choose? Every world power has gone. Any existing attempt to become the global governance, no matter which of the 2 vying at this writing, as world powers of the past, they too will end. Question is which hand will you be holding when the music stops? When you truly need help? 

I place this topic here in the first half of 2023. It may be old by the time you read it but to be honest, if the ‘catching away’ [or, the rapture] of believing Christians happens sooner than later, should you happen upon this post it is my fervent prayer that you choose the right hand because YOUR life, now and then, depends on it. YOUR eternal life. 

Some current governments try to generally assist their citizens when they fall on hard times. Other governments dispense with the same. The current government type that seems to be gaining worldwide acceptance believes if a person cannot make a contribution to society equal to the resources they consume they should not be living. That would include children, seniors, those with mental health issues, disabilities, diseases, orphans, widows, etc. The current two potential global entities both subscribe to this form of government. There is a time coming when this reality will be frightful to some and considered a lifesaver to others/most.

Benefits of the God’s hand vs Government

• Govt resources are limited

• Resources come with strings

• Resources eligibility are often exclusive to some while incluse to others

• Govt enforcement is heavy handed according to the leader[s] of any govt.

• Persecution by govts of those who are deemed resistant ranges from restrictions of any benefit up to and including death. → in other words: Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated. Not just a syfy ideology. 

• As already stated, ALL former ‘global’ governments are now history. Any global government now will end the same – so where do you go then?

This list is in no way complete. But the reader now or even much later gets the point.

• GOD’s resources are unlimited

• GOD’s resources have only one string: Belief and Faith in Jesus Christ → one must admit they have sinned and repent of their sin. Believe Jesus died on a tree and resurrected. Approximately a month thereafter HE rose to heaven where HE sits at the right hand of GOD. 

• GOD’s Authority over resources requires the believer to have TRUST and FAITH

• GOD is not partial thus resource eligibility has no qualifying.

• GOD’s help in our current troubles comes as a benefit of our trust and faith in HIS Sovereignty. HE made us. HE sent HIS SON to live in the flesh to experience human life as we do but in a perfect body not marred by sin.

Whose hand up will YOU CHOOSE? I hope you will make the choice an ancient leader in the first nation to settle in the promised land made: “And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” –Joshua 24:15 

Joshua chose GOD’s Right Hand!






NOTICE: If you are feeling inclined or feeling led to want Jesus as your Savior, your leader, your King, your source of Peace and Joy but are feeling woefully inadequate, uninformed on how best to get to know HIM, or find yourself at wit’s end because you believe yourself trapped and in need of GOD, please know Jesus stands ready to welcome you with HIS Holy Spirit. Believe these words: “16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. “—John 3:16

“Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, 20 and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, 21 whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.” – Acts 3:19-20

“Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born [a]again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” 5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” – John 3:3-8
