Because you are my helper, I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings. I cling to you; your strong right hand holds me securely.
Hands! Look at them. No, really, look at them. French manicure's, (yes I know what that is - Brenda told me) painted nails, busted knuckles, history, life.
Remember when they didn't have all those spots? Remember when we didn't call them spots and they were freckles?
These are hands for folding and holding and working and playing and praying and praising ... these are your hands. Hands for catching...
For us to catch God we must have the same heart as David. We must seek after God with the intention and purpose of catching him. We must be thirsty for God alone and realize that His hands are the only thing that can truly sustain and satisfy our soul.
His hands...look at them. No, really, look at them. Do you remember when they didn't have those scars? Yes those scars ...those nail scarred hands!
In Psalm 63:8 the King James version says, "...my soul followeth hard after thee..."
Are you following hard after God ... God desires to be caught! And if we seek him with all our heart he will let us catch him. David says, "not only will I catch you ...but I will hold on to you." And when I have you I will sing for joy.
Listen....be still...be quiet...there it is again. Softly at first...but if you really listen you can hear it - encouraging you, cheering you, calling you, that's the applause of heaven.
The applause of nail scarred hands! That applause is for you ...
God is saying catch me...with your hands...and hold on to me with all your heart.
I'm just sayin', that when we catch Him we will have all we need!
...see ya next time...
