If it were not for the Lord’s hand, we would be hopelessly unable to fulfill His assignments. God grants us God-sized assignments. They might at first glance appear to be possible, but the God-sized dimensions and possibilities always take us to a place where we cannot possibly succeed apart from His intervention.
Thankfully we can always count on His hand. In Jeremiah’s case, he was asked to deliver a difficult message to a hostile audience. Complicating matters, the youth did not feel competent as a speaker. This was truly a recipe for disaster! But then God’s hand came upon him. God’s hand changes everything!
Before God’s hand touched him, Jeremiah was certainly unqualified for the divine task. After God’s hand came upon him, there was nothing he could not do! It would have been foolish for Jeremiah to attempt a divine work apart from Gods hand. After God touched him, it would have been foolish to continue to fear or to hesitate.
Is God’s hand upon you? What is the evidence?
