The Hand of God

My own hand laid the foundations of the earth, and my right hand spread out the heavens; when I summon them, they all stand up together.

Isaiah 48:13

Red represents low-energy X-rays, the medium range is green, and the most energetic ones are colored blue. The blue hand-like structure was created by energy emanating from the nebula around the dying star PSR B1509-58. The red areas are from a neighboring gas cloud called RCW 89.

Today as I got on to check my mail, this picture was on the att news. My first thought, "I wonder if I am looking at the hand of God?" When it comes to God and His creation, nothing is by chance or without purpose. I am covered with chill bumps from head to toe just thinking about it. If I personally had this kind of reaction, then I know that this can also edify the church. For this reason I believe that my thought is true.

If you look closely you can tell that it is a right hand. So many times in God's word He makes reference to His right hand when it comes to protection, judgement and displaying His mightiness.

Here are but a few.

Psalm 45:4 In your majesty ride forth victoriously in behalf of truth, humility and righteousness; let your right hand display awesome deeds.

Psalm 138:7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes, with your right hand you save me.

Isaiah 41:10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Spend time today just praising the One and Only.
