In your hands

This is a poem that was read to me by my Mum yesterday, it really rang true to what I know to be true. I know that if you read it you will be as touched as I was. Thank you Tammy for posting on your blog for me to hear.

A basketball in Michael Jordan's hands is worth about $33 million.
It depends whose hands it's in.

A baseball in my hands is worth about $6.
A baseball in Mark McGuire's hands is worth $19 million.
It depends whose hands it's in.

It depends whose hands it's in.

A rod in my hands will keep away a wild animal.
A rod in Moses' hands will part the mighty sea.
It depends whose hands it's in.

A sling shot in my hands is a kid's toy.
A sling shot in David's hand is a mighty weapon.

2 fish and 5 loaves of bread in my hands is a couple of fish sandwiches.
2 fish and 5 loaves of bread in God's hands will feed thousands.

Nails in my hands might produce a birdhouse.
Nails in Jesus Christ's hands will produce salvation for the entire world.
It depends whose hands it's in.
As you see now, it depends on whose hands it's in.
So put your concerns, your worries, your fears, your hopes, your dreams, your family, and your relationships in God's hands because.....It depends whose hands it's in.
