He's Got the Whole World in His Hands

"It's not what I do that matters, but what a sovereign God chooses to do through me." Elizabeth Dole

God has a plan for everyone! That is a pretty simple statement with a lot of meaning in it.

Sometimes it is hard to always know what the purpose is in something: this can be something small or big. You may be wondering what the purpose is behind losing a job or not being able to find one. You may be wondering what the purpose of your life is. God knows. God has a reason. 

My students learned that "God Made the World" last week. Our theme song was "He's God the Whole World in His Hands". I loved that song as a child - especially the itty-bitty baby part. Singing it as an adult I now understand the deep meaning in its words. God really has the whole world in His hands. His hands are big enough for all of us and he is there. He isn't leaving or too busy. He is bigger than all of this! He's got us in His hands!
