NONE CAN STAY HIS HAND

 EVENING DEVOTION by James Smith

SEPTEMBER 15

 

Daniel 4:35

... among the inhabitants of the earth: and 

none can stay his hand, or say unto him, 

What doest thou?

 
The hand of God is his providence, or his wisdom and power in operation of the accomplishment of his will.
 
No one can possibly frustrated his designs.
 
Nothing can throw confusion into his plans.
 
He steadily pursues his object.
 
Easily accomplishes his purpose.
 
Performs all his pleasure.
 
All his saints are in his hand, therefore they are safe.
 
His hand is at work for them, therefore they shall not be injured.
 
He always works in accordance with his word.
 
His predictions must come to pass.
 
His promises must be fulfilled.
 
His charge must be safe.
 
Beloved, the hand of God is lifted up to defend you, therefore you are safe.
 
His hand is opened to supply you, therefore you shall not want.
 
His hand is beneath you, therefore you shall not fall.
 
Trust in Jesus, in his wisdom and power.
 
Exercise faith in his providence.
 
His hand will crush or convert your foes, protect you and supply your wants, guide you through the desert, and lift you up for ever.
 
Look from circumstances to the hand that overrules them: it is your Father’s hand, and his hand is moved by his heart, which heart glows with unutterable love to you.
 
He works for you, and “None can stay his hand.”
 

Jehovah’s arm, shall be my strength,

And his almighty power

Will well fulfil his promises,

And victory ensure.
