What Are You Doing With Your Hands?

The letter “H”, in the word for the year - HELP - represents HAND. Did you know that there are approximately 458 Bible verses that contain the word “hands”?

It is interesting to read stories that involve how hands can be used: some for evil and some for good. This subject must be important to God, whether He is instructing us, discipling us, or loving us. He tells us to work with our hands and to present that work to Him for His approval. We see the humility of Jesus using His hands by breaking bread, serving wine, washing the feet of His disciples, and by performing miracle after miracle by feeding the multitudes, healing the sick, and raising the dead. We should strive to be like the Savior when it comes to ministering and using our hands in service to others. One of my biggest wishes or hopes is to serve and help others through Christ who gives me strength. The feeling that I get when I do something to serve, something that puts a smile on someone’s face, makes me want to continue on and on. I am delighted to be part of an organization that makes that possible. 

God gives us a choice in how we will respond to and serve others. If we love Him and others, we will honor Him with our hands and choose to do what is incredibly good. Good or bad starts in our thoughts, and then fills our hearts, but we cannot act on those thoughts, either good or bad, effectively without our hands. That is why it is so important to be godly and choose wisely. He gave our hands to serve, to praise, and to pray. He has entrusted us with a wonderful gift that we must use for His glory and purpose. May we always choose to serve God with our hands in love.
