In His hands

He’s got the whole world in His hands.

My Heavenly Father knows and loves everyone on this earth and directs everything.

Each event and each element and each person is in His loving care.

“The heavens and the earth are in mine hands” D&C 67:2

It’s powerful to think about the whole world being in God’s hands.

God is mighty and all-powerful.

But, right before declaring that the heavens and the earth are in His hands, He mentions to the groups of saints gathered:

“Whose prayers I have heard, and whose hearts I know, and whose desires have come up before me.” D&C 67:1

He hears every prayer that I say.

He knows every single desire, every single yearning of my heart.

He knows things about myself that I haven’t told anyone else.

He knows what I really want and what I really fear, even if I’m not sure what I want or fear.

So the God of heaven and earth, who holds everything in His hands, ALSO knows my every desire.

And what does He do with this unfathomable power and this knowledge?

Holding the whole world while also knowing everything about me?

“The riches of eternity are mine to give.” D&C 67:2

He wants to pour out the riches of eternity upon me.

He’s got the whole world in His hand. He also knows my every personal desire and plea.

And He wants to bless me in ways that I can’t imagine.

“O ye elders of my church, who have assembled yourselves together, whose prayers I have heard, and whose hearts I know, and whose desires have come up before me.

“Behold and lo, mine eyes are upon you, and the heavens and the earth are in mine hands, and the riches of eternity are mine to give.” D&C 67:1-2

The riches of eternity are His to give to the whole world.

And thanks goodness I am in His hands.

Happy Studying!
