Whole World In His Hands

When all around is fading
And nothing seems to last
When each day is filled with sorrow
Still I know with all my heart

He’s got the whole world in His hands
He’s got the whole world in His hands
I’ll fear no evil for You are with me
Strong to deliver, mighty to save
He’s got the whole world in His hands

When I walk through fire
I will not be burned
When the waves come crashing ‘round me
Still I know with all my heart

He’s got the whole world in His hands
He’s got the whole world in His hands
I’ll fear no evil for You are with me
Strong to deliver, mighty to save
He’s got the whole world in His hands

===================================================

Wow…what a song! I definitely don’t spend enough time realizing the power that our God possesses. Every time I hear and sing this song, I wonder, do I really know with all of my heart that God hold the whole world in His hands? That He is strong to deliver, and mighty to save? That I can be at complete peace, without concern for the future, because He works all things for good (Rom. 8:28)?

Right now, I see how much around me is fading. I am seeing the effects of medical school, of studying for tests, of thinking and memorizing for hours on end. I am seeing how withdrawn I have become, how selfish I am with my time, how callous I am to others’ needs.

None of this lasts. These tests will come and go. Yes, I need to learn this stuff well and remember everything so that I will be highly skilled. But what matters the most are what last forever. And people’s lives are infinitely more valuable than any fact I can learn about the omohyoid muscle or the posterior circumflex humeral artery.

But He is so good! He gives us what we need, even when we don’t deserve it. He’s so big.
