STORM IN A TEA CUP

STORM IN A TEA CUP


Who (God) hath measured the waters in the hollow of His hand" (Isa
40:12).

This verse gives great encouragement to those who are going through
various trials. As we know, in the Word of God, trials are compared
to waters, storms, floods etc, as in Isaiah 43:2: "When thou passest
through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they
shall not overflow thee." If all the waters in the universe can be
held in the hollow of one hand of our almighty God, then our trials,
which are like a drop of water in the ocean, can in no way affect or
ruin our spiritual life. All our trials are just like a storm in a
tea cup!

Dear child of God, don't forget you are upheld in such a mighty
hand. "I will uphold thee with the right hand of My righteousness"
(Isa 41:10). If our loving Lord's hands are so broad and powerful,
no devil can pluck us out of them. Instead of looking at our
smallness let us look at the greatness of our God; instead of looking
at our weakness let us look at the strength of our God; instead of
looking of at our limitations let us look at the unlimited grace that
our God has for us.

As the songwriter says, "We have a great big wonderful God" – Who
makes our lives also wonderful.
