In Tulsa, OK are these mammoth \u201chealing\u201d hands located at the entrance of Oral Roberts University. I\u2019ve seen buses of tourists from around the world stopping there to take photos of one of Tulsa’s most identifiable landmarks. Though I lived in Tulsa, I became a tourist myself when I took this photo and I found out that those formidable bronze hands stand 60 feet high and weigh 30 tons. Casting done in Juarez, Mexico in 1980, they are the largest bronze sculpture in the world. Those hands still remain a strong model of the power of medical science and God\u2019s supernatural healing power working together to bring restoration to people\u2019s bodies and minds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Heavenly Father really does have mighty big hands. In fact, His hands are so big He holds the whole world in them! How big are God\u2019s hands? God\u2019s hands are big enough to bless us. Jesus often touched people in order to bless them. He does the same for you and me. \u201cThe Lord will hold you in His hand for all to see a splendid crown in the hand of God.\u201d (Isaiah 62:3) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

God\u2019s hands are scarred to never forget us. In Heaven, the only scars will be on Jesus. God will never forget us because He has a constant reminder in Jesus’ nail-scarred hands. The Bible says, \u201cCan a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion for the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands\u201d (Isaiah 49:15-16). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

God\u2019s hands are strong enough to keep us eternally secure. \u201cI give them eternal life, and they shall never perish \u2026. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of My Father\u2019s hand\u201d (John 10:28-29) .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When our kids were little, my husband would stand in the water at the edge of the pool and say, \u201cJump to me. Trust me. I\u2019ve got you!\u201d But, they were afraid. “Is he strong enough to catch me? Are his hands slippery? What happens if he doesn\u2019t catch me?” But, after many promises and much pleading, they would finally get up enough faith and courage to jump into their daddy\u2019s arms, and of course he would catch them. Then they\u2019d want to do it a hundred more times!

Our Heavenly Father is waiting for us to jump today. He\u2019s saying, \u201cTrust me. I can be trusted. I\u2019m working behind the scenes. And I can handle anything you give Me.” Don\u2019t we want our life to be in God\u2019s hands? We can trust Him with our lives and our future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “Praying Hands” statute reminded me of God\u2019s purpose for my own hands — to type this blog each day to share His love and light, to touch someone who needs a gesture of love — but most of all — for my own praying hands to seek Him with my whole heart — for it is in my seeking,,,..that I find the perfect, tender and loving hands of God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
