\"SeekingHimLogo\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

You hem me in behind and before,
\nand You lay Your hand upon me.
\nSuch knowledge is too wonderful for me,
\ntoo lofty for me to attain.
\nPsalms 139:5 and 6<\/span><\/p>\n

* \u00a0~ \u00a0\u2665 \u00a0~ \u00a0\u271e \u00a0~ \u00a0\u2665 \u00a0~ \u00a0*<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0In His Love Surrounds Us<\/em>, Tina<\/span><\/strong> wrote about what it is like to have God ‘hem us in’ through the examples of Abraham, Moses, and Joshua….<\/p>\n

\n

hem<\/em>:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

to surround in a restrictive manner
\nto confine\u2014usually used with in<\/em><hemmed<\/em> in by enemy troops> (from Merriam-Webster Dictionary)<\/span><\/p>\n

If we can follow this, we can see how God covered the Israelites in Egypt. \u00a0God worked in the lives of Abraham, Moses and Joshua…God surrounded His people with love and protection. A hem<\/em>ming in<\/strong> for the people\u2026if only they would see and understand.<\/p>\n

How often are we like the Israelites? \u00a0There can be a blessing waiting for us to grasp\u2026if only we will let down our defenses and kneel before our God in holy reverence.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In Divine Hand<\/em>, Ann<\/span><\/strong> shared about the significance of ‘the hand of God’….<\/p>\n

The hand of God<\/em> <\/strong>signifies-<\/p>\n

\u2022 the presence<\/strong> of God \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u2022 the favor<\/strong> of God \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u2022 the availability<\/strong> of God<\/p>\n

The hand of God<\/strong><\/em> will guide us if we let it do so as we submit ourselves wholly to Him. \u00a0Check out the following verses:<\/p>\n

Psalm 139 :10
\nPsalm 23:3
\nRomans 8:14
\nPsalm 108:6
\nIsaiah 41:10
\nPsalm 89:21
\nIsaiah 19:16
\nIsaiah 59:1
\nDeuteronomy 7:8
\nIsaiah 25:10Acts 4:30<\/p>\n

And as Jabez cried out to the God of Israel 1 Chronicles 4:10,<\/p>\n

\u201cO Lord that You bless me and enlarge my territory!
\nLet Your hand be with me and keep me from harm
\nso that I will be free from pain\u2026
\nand God granted his request.<\/p>\n
