In The Palm of God’s Hand
1 Corinthians 10:26 “For the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof.”
God has the whole world in His hands. Remember that old gospel song? He’s got the wind, the rain, the tiny little baby, yes, even you and me in His hands. How easy it is to forget that! And it isn’t limited to [...]
