There is something amazing that I love to picture when I worship Him or spend time in His presence, and that is the simple fact that we are in His Hands. He literally holds us to Himself, in the palm of His hands we are safe from the enemy, we are prized and loved. He holds us when we are joyous, when we are broken, from our conception, to our very last breath... We are always in His hands, through the storm, through the rain, through the heat of the day, and the cool of the night.
There are so many verses that speak of this, as well as multiple songs. I've compiled a few that I like to meditate on, so that I could share them with you here.
