"Hands are one of the symbolically expressive parts of the body. In Hebrew, yad, the most common word for hand, is also used to mean power, strength, and might. Thus, hands signify power and strength...

"To be in the hands of God would suggest that we are not only under His watchful care but also that we are guarded and protected by His wondrous power....

"His powerful hands created worlds, and yet they were gentle enough to bless the little children...

"Every one of us needs to know that we can go on in the strength of the Lord. We can put our hand in His, and we will feel His sustaining presence lift us to heights unattainable alone...

"The Lord will provide sustenance and support if we are willing to open the door and receive His hand of divine assistance...

"Imagine the wounds in His hands. His weathered hands, yes, even His hands of torn flesh and physical sacrifice, give our own hands greater power and direction.

"It is the wounded Christ who leads us through our moments of difficulty. It is He who bears us up when we need more air to breathe or direction to follow or even more courage to continue.

"If we will keep the commandments of God and walk hand in hand with Him in His paths, we will go forward with faith and never feel alone."
