Saints in the Lord's Hand
Deuteronomy 33:2-5
And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir to them; he shined forth from mount Paran…


These holy ones are distinguished by many things from each other. Some of them are in public life and some in private. Some are rich and some poor. Some are young and some old. But all are equally dear to God; and partakers of the common salvation; in which there is neither Jew nor Greek, for we are all one in Christ Jesus. This honour have all His saints — "All His saints are in His hand."

1. In His fashioning hand. They are the clay, He is the potter; and He makes them vessels of honour, prepared unto every good work.

2. In His preserving hand. For now they are precious, they are the more exposed. They are called a crown and a diadem; and the powers of darkness would gladly seize it.

3. In His guiding hand. Though God, says Bishop Hall, has a large family, none of His children are able to go alone: they are too weak, as well as too ignorant. But fear not, says God: I will strengthen thee, yea, I will help thee, yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of My righteousness.

4. In His chastening hand.

(W. Jay.)
