FAITH CAPSULE: The hand of God is abiding to bring you thus far.

Ezra 7

The hand of God is abiding for one with the desire to dwell in the hand of God.
Allow fear of God and make satisfaction your abiding position.
What is your desire before God?
What one desires before God is what God will deposit in such.
In this challenging world of wickedness, why not desire the hand of God?
The Psalmist testifies to the hand of God, “You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.” (Psalm 145:16)
Prayerfully, ask that God enable your life with His hand.
In the hand of God, the perfect creator has all in His hand for all that His creation will desire.
Imagine, anyone with satisfaction is bound to live life by the word of God.
With satisfaction, one will not run outside of God.
Satisfaction is the key to waiting on God.
Satisfaction is the character of one who moves only by the word of God.
Yes, satisfaction is the hand of God, an allowance in the hand of God for those who live life for God.
Fear God from the depth of the heart, not of the mouth.
If the fear of God is your portion, evidently, satisfaction becomes your abiding place. 
Proverbs 19:23 states, “The fear of the Lord leads to life, and he who has it will abide in satisfaction; He will not be visited with evil.” 
The right hand of God is all that everyone needs to ask. 
Also, in the hand of God is deliverance and preservation that brings satisfaction in life.
It was with His mighty and outstretched hand that He brought the children of Israel out of the bondage of over four hundred years.
God spoke when the Israelites were in the hand of Pharaoh of Egypt, “So I will stretch out My hand and strike Egypt with all My wonders which I will do in its midst, and after that, he will let you go.” (Exodus 3:20)
“And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord when I stretch out My hand on Egypt and bring out the children of Israel from among them.” (Exodus 7:5)
The hand of God is power, and no force under heaven can deny the hand of God. 
Indeed, through Moses as a vessel, the hand of God delivered mighty deliverance for the Israelites. 
Ezra testified to the hand of God as the agent of being granted every request during their quest to rebuild Jerusalem (Ezra 7:6) 
Ezra testifies to the hand of God as gracious (good) when they were able to get to Jerusalem. (Ezra 7:9) 
Ezra 7:28 records, “…So I was encouraged, as the hand of the LORD my God was upon me…”  
Ezra could not help but testify again, “And the hand of our God was upon us, and He delivered us from the hand of the enemy and from ambush along the road.”(Ezra 8:31)
What would one do without the hand of God in life?

Prayer for today: Ask for the hand of God to reign and rule over your life.
