Reaching Out

Rose Boelke has shared with us the following message. Thank you Rose.

Psalm 16:8-11
8 I keep the LORD in mind always. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
9 Therefore my heart is glad and my spirit rejoices; my body also rests securely.
10 For You will not abandon me to Sheol; You will not allow Your Faithful One to see decay.
11 You reveal the path of life to me; in Your presence is abundant joy; in Your right hand are eternal pleasures.

Dear Rose,

Do you know what it's like to be overwhelmed by the world? Do you know what its like to be brought down to your knees, feeling powerless to help someone in need? Have you ever felt like you have a broken rudder and feel helpless to navigate yourself through the stormy sea of life?

Of course you have, because we all experience the feel helpless, overwhelmed, and powerless at times. But in those moments we have a choice to be left handed or right handed.

"He Dexiá" is the Greek word for "God’s right hand" and it is a symbol of his POWER. It is symbolic of Jesus Christ, the Messiah. The Messiah is referred to in the Passover Haggadah as the right hand of God. In His right hand, God shows His Character, His Power, His Love, His Grace, His Mercy and His Guarantee of Security. In times of stress and trauma, when the horrors of living in this world overwhelm us, those who abide in "He Dexiá", will rest securely, because the ONE who defeated death and the grave, Jesus/Yeshua, possesses all the POWER to save you, redeem you, and walk you through the storms.

Rose Take a moment to praise God today. Ask Him to be YOUR right hand. Then put your faith and hope in Him...God's right hand, not in your own.
