I have another hand

“Remember I have another hand.”

This was what the Lord spoke to my heart when He gave me a picture during worship this past week.

A picture that reminded me that we are instruments… instruments of ten strings as the scripture call us.

Instruments in the hands of the most skilled Musician.

I saw the neck of a guitar and on that neck a hand…

I couldn’t tell you the cord the fingers formed but I knew that they were holding the strings firm.

And that was when He reminded of His other hand…

The hand playing…

The hand releasing the sound…

The song of heaven.

Sometimes our lives seem stressed.  Sometimes the pressure is too much.

The pain seems unbearable.

But it is not for nothing.

It is for the new song that we are told in the Psalms to sing.

He will not allow the song we sing to go without music.  And it is not ourselves that choose the chords.

He presses on us to release the sound.  He touches every string of our life. He holds just the right ones to make it beautiful.

Sometimes He tightens an area of our lives and we feel the stress.

But He is just tuning us up...  Preparing us, so that He can play us.

And we know that as surely as He will hold down on one area… He will release it.

If He didn’t there would be no new song.

He gave me the picture, I believe, for a specific person.  But He doesn’t waste time.

It is for all of us.  It is for us to know that He sees us… He knows us… He holds us…

Because He knows the beautiful song that He will play through us.

Where ever you are… whatever you are going through…

Remember… He is the one holding you…

And He has another hand.

Your life is a song He plays to which the angels sing along.
