"Don't be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created." James 1:16-18 New International Version
We are creations of God, but do we understand how powerful that statement is?
We are bombard by messages that make us out to be much less than creatures in God's hands. However, as difficult as it may be to comprehend, we are creatures of God. We are creatures in the hands of God.
The girl in this picture is entrusting herself to someone much bigger than she is. There is an implied expectation that this bigger and stronger man will protect her and lead her to where she is traveling.
Our hand firmly grasps the hand of the one who made us because he is the one who has reached down and seized us. There is an implied expectation that God will guide us on this journey through life, even when it seems that we're only grasping air.
This expectation is rooted in God's promise through his Son, Jesus Christ, who declared to his disciples that he would be with us, even to the end of the age. (Matthew 28:20).
Yes, we are creatures in the hands of our gracious God.
