In His Hand...

Last night at vespers the speaker told a story that really touched my heart....

The story is told about a little boy driving in the car with his daddy. They were driving down the road with the windows rolled up because of the dust outside. Now this little boy was deathly afraid of bees, and as they were driving, there was a bee stuck inside the car and the little boy started crying..."Daddy! Daddy! Help me!" As the bee was buzzing right up close to the little crying boy, his daddy reached out and grabed the bee in his hand. After holding it for a few seconds he let it go again. The little boy starts crying again, "Daddy! Help me! It's going to hurt me!" This is when his daddy said, "No son, it can't hurt you now...look at my hand..." the little boy looked at his daddy's hand as he stretched it out....there in the middle, was a big red circle that was beginning to swell.....in the center of the circle was the bee's stinger..."He can't sting you now son..."

Jesus Christ has taken the devils stinger for us....he can't hurt us now.... "In the whole satanic force there is not power to overcome one soul who in simple trust, casts himself on Christ. 'He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might He increaseth strength.' Isa 40:29" -COL 157
