In His Hand

Heidelberg Catechsim
Lord's Day 10
Question & Answer 28
How does the knowledge of God's creation and providence help us?

We can be patient when things go against us,
thankful when things go well,
and for the guture we can have
good confidence in our faithful God and Father
that nothing will separate us from his love.
All creatures are so completely in his hand
that without his will
they can neither move nor be moved.

My baby is so completely in His Hand. That brings me comfort.

I have been cherishing Zephaniah 3:14-17 for Baby Zion (and for the rest of us!):

Sing, O Daughter of Zion; shout aloud, O Israel!
Be glad and rejoice with all your heart,
O Daughter of Jerusalem!
The LORD has taken away your punishment,
he has turned back your enemy.
The LORD, the King of Israel, is with you;
never again will you fear any harm.
On that day they will say to Jerusalem,
"Do not fear, O Zion;
do not let your hands hang limp.
The LORD your God is with you,
he is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
he will quiet you with his love,
he will rejoice over you with singing."
