Hands

A basketball in my hands is worth about $19.
A basketball in Michael Jordan's hands is worth about $33 million.
It depends whose hands it's in

A baseball in my hands is worth about $6.
A baseball in Mark McGuire's hands is worth $19 million.
It depends whose hands it's in.

A tennis racket is useless in my hands.
A tennis racket in Pete Sampras' hands is a Wimbledon Championship. 
It depends whose hands it's in.

A rod in my hands will keep away a wild animal.
A rod in Moses' hands will part the mighty sea.
It depends whose hands it's in.

A sling shot in my hands is a kid's toy.
A sling shot in David's hand is a mighty weapon.
It depends whose hands it's in.

Two fish and 5 loaves of bread in my hands is a couple of fish
sandwiches.
Two fish and 5 loaves of bread in God's hands will feed thousands.
It depends whose hands it's in.

Nails in my hands might produce a birdhouse;
Nails in Jesus Christ's hands will produce salvation for the entire
world.
It depends whose hands it's in.

As you see now, it depends whose hands it's in.
So put your concerns, your worries, your fears, your hopes, your
dreams, your families and your relationships in God's hands
because it depends whose hands it's in.

Blessings In Time of Trial
Connie C. Bratcher

When you can't see the blessings
In that trial you're going through,
Turn your eyes upon the Lord
And you'll have a clearer view.

Among the sharp prickly thorns,
Are the roses to be found-
Just focus on the Saviour
And you'll see them all around.

He is the Rose of Sharon,
The bright and morning Star-
Touched with your infirmities,
He's right there where you are.

Just keep your eyes upon Him
Whatever you go through,
He's your friend beyond compare-
The One who died for you.

Though Satan tries to break you
When those trials come your way,
Christ never will forsake you...
He'll bless you every day.

"...for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."
"...in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy
and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality."
(Heb.13:5; IICor. 8:2)

.......Who You Are.......
Connie C. Bratcher

Lord, it’s not just what you’ve done for me
That makes me love you so,
And it’s not the moon and stars I see
That sets my heart aglow…
It is Who You Are:
You are my God, Heavenly Father,
Holy Spirit within,
My Refuge, my Strength, my Comforter…
My Redeemer and Friend.

It’s not the beauty of a sunrise
That makes me worship You,
Nor the songbirds singing in the skies
You created so blue…
It is Who You Are:
You are my Rock, High Tower, Fortress,
My Buckler, and my Shield,
My Counselor, and my Prince of Peace…
The One to Whom I yield.

It is not those rich blessings of life
Bestowed abundantly,
Nor even Your great salvation plan
That stirs a flame in me…
It is Who You Are:
You are my Lord, my Light, and my Life,
My Salvation, my King,
You are the very breath that I breathe…
You Are my Everything!

“In Him (Jesus) was life; and the life was the light of men.”
“The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
my God, my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.”
“I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.”
(Jo 1:4; Ps 18:2; Ps 18:1)

Signs
Roger Montgomery

The world is pretty busy
Traveling is a sign of the times
As we go down life’s road
We should observe the warning signs.

We come to an intersection
But we stop just in time
We have been alerted
And saved by a stop sign.

We could disregard them
Pretend we are blind
But we only hurt ourselves
If we don’t obey the warning signs.

These signs are for our own good
If we obey them we’ll be fine
They were made by someone else
Wonder who put up these signs?

If everybody pays attention
You obey yours, I’ll obey mine
If we look out for each other
That would be a very good sign.

Someone went before us
Someone had us in mind
Someone went to all the trouble
To put up all these signs.

Sometimes they speed us up
But they slow us down sometimes
Yet we all owe so much
To whoever put up these signs.

What are we willing to give up
To arrive at our destination safely on time
Everywhere we look these days
There seems to be a sign.

God has gone before us
Placed in our hearts and minds
A spirit that can recognize and obey
Many of life’s warning signs.

Someone put them up for us
And to me that seems to be fine
Someone is looking out for us
To me, that’s a sign.

Stop is one often used
This action is not by natural human design
We can save everyone so much trouble
When we obey this very important sign.

Yield right of way
And everything will be fine
The other person sometimes comes first
Wow, what a sign!

One Way is another one
To disobey this you must be blind
Not every road leads to God
This is a most important sign.

Road narrows ahead
Next three miles are steep incline
Keep to the right
Some more important signs.

Green light means go
Caution you should also mind
If you don’t use caution
You may not stop in time.

If you don’t heed the warning
If you don’t heed the signs
You may go into eternity
Because you didn’t stop in time.

Red means to stop
This seems to take too much time
But this is how we will look
If we don’t obey this important sign.

Sharp curves ahead
Road has sharp incline
Thank God we can pay attention
To all these warning signs.

Life has many problems
Sometimes detours take up more time
But we must keep on going
Following all these signs.

People are asking each other
What’s your sign, what’s your sign
Just point them to the cross
This is a sign for the times.

God has an operator’s manual
So His life and ours can entwine
He has sent us His Spirit
To help interpret all these signs.

If we want to know where we’re going
And one day with Jesus dine
Just keep on the right road
And obey all these signs.

Let God speak to your heart
Just keep this in mind
God works for our good
So please obey all His signs.

Let God speak to your heart
Like He has spoken to mine
Keep your eyes on the road
And obey all these signs.

They will be for your health
And other people’s health just like mine
Have a healthy respect for God
And obey all His signs.

Jesus spoke to the people
Said they could not discern the times
He pointed them to the sky
And talked about the signs.

If God is getting your attention
It is no accident that you’re fine
Wonder what God is trying to tell you
It must be a sign.

So next time you’re on the road
Please take the time
To see what these signs are telling you
Then obey all these signs.

I guess God loves you
Here’s the bottom line
Just look at the cross
What a sign! What a sign!

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth,
and the life: no man cometh unto the Father,
but by me. (John 14:6)

NOTHING  IS  IMPOSSIBLE
Michelle S. Lowndes

Nothing is impossible
With the Lord in our lives
He causes doors to open
So we can walk inside

To brand new opportunities
We never knew before
To a new exciting level
In our walk with the Lord

With faith in our hearts
And our hand in His hand
We can cross any canyon
And through seas on dry land

For He will make a way
As in faith our walk begins
What seems to us impossible
Is possible with Him

When feeling like it’s all too much
Remember in the past
How God had made a way for you
When you came to Him and asked

And He again will answer you
And show you so much more
As you keep on trusting Him
And walking with the Lord

I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
(Rev. 3:8)
