Life in His Hand
Life in His Hand
Job 12:10 HCSB
“The life of every living thing is in His hand, as well as the breath of all mankind.”
What is it that God is expecting from us? What is it God is looking for from us?
Job 12:10 says that everything that has life is in God’s hand. This is our destiny, that our life is in the hands of God. If God chooses in a minute to take away that breath, we wouldn’t exist immediately.
As we’ve read in Psalms 150:6 – let everything that has breath, praise the Lord. We’ve been given life so we can praise God. That’s what God searches for.
John 4:23 says – “the Father seeks true worshippers”. This means that there are only few true worshippers.
Can God count us as true worshippers? Can we praise Him with every breath we have?
Job worshipped even under the worst circumstances, when everything was taken away from him. In every season of life though, Job was constantly looking for reasons to worship Him.
As long as we have breath in our nostrils, we have a reason to worship Him. Stop waiting for that breakthrough to worship Him, stop waiting for that healing, that financial income, that tangible experience, to worship God. Worship Him for the life He gave you, because He has chosen for us to be alive.
There are 7 billion human beings that breathe, but let us be that portion of people who worship God for giving us our life!
Psalm 147:2–3 reveals God's heart as a Restorer rather than a Punisher. Although Israel went into exile because of its own rebellion, God did not abandon His people. Instead, He promised to restore Jerusalem, bring the exiles home, heal the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.
The message reminds us that while God may use friends, pastors, counselors, or loved ones to help us, true healing and restoration ultimately come from the Lord. His restoration reaches every part of our lives—our hearts, relationships, health, finances, emotions, and spiritual walk.
God knows every wound, including those hidden from others. Unlike people, who can only comfort from the outside, He sees the deepest parts of our hearts and heals completely. His healing is so complete that even the scars of past pain lose their power to define us.
The devotion encourages believers to fix their eyes on God instead of relying solely on human help. No matter how far someone has drifted, how many mistakes they have made, or how broken they feel, God is still calling them back. His desire is to restore, heal, and make all things beautiful in His perfect timing.
