Mark McKeown closed the family service by talking about the world being in God’s hands:
When we think about arms, we realise how versatile they are and how we can communicate effectively using our hands (thumbs up, thumbs down, handshakes, hugs etc.) We use expressions such as ‘tight-fisted’ to convey meanness or ‘open-handed’ to convey generosity. Whatever our strength, however, all people have limitations, but God never grows tired or weary (Is 40:28-31) and His strength and grace are always available to us (see 2 Cor 12:9, Phil 4:13). God even arms us with strength at times (see Ps 18:31-32) and gives us His peace (Jn 14:27), upholding us with His righteous right hand (Is 41:10-13).
God reminds us that He is our provider (Phil 4:19) and because of this, we don’t need to worry (Matt 6:25-34). God is no man’s debtor (Mal 3:10) and we can be generous people because He has provided all we have (1 Chron 29:14). Our refuge is in God’s arms (Deut 33:27); there’s no safer place to be.
