A sovereign God can do sovereign acts and the placing of His hand on one of His servants is something He does. Instead of asking what the secret of success is, we should be asking God to place his good hand on us as we walk and minister before Him. Be ready, however, to give yourself to seek the Word, to do it and to teach it to others. Then, and only then, will the hand of the Lord be upon us. Simple? Yes and no. The good news is that such a presence of God in our lives and ministries is possible. Let us beseech Him for His good hand. How wonderful to be able to say,
“The king granted him all his request, according to the hand of the Lord his God upon him.” Ezra 7:6
Oh may it be so with each of us in the coming days of ministry. Please do it Lord for Your glory!
