in God’s hands

“It is a high privilege to rest in God when danger or pain strikes….Put yourself (this is your privilege) in the keeping of those dear hands that were pierced for you. Surrender to the love of that heart which was pierced to purchase your redemption….Oh, to be in God’s hand. What a place—in the hands of God!…If we are in God’s hands, we are where all things rest; we are home and we are happy. We have left the creature’s nothingness and entered into the Creator’s all-sufficiency. Beloved friend, get there. Hurry to get there, and from this moment live in God’s hands.

—Charles Spurgeon, Beside Still Waters page 24
