The Finger of God
The Bible’s timeless wisdom, as illustrated by the finger of God, has the power to shape and transform our lives today. In this article, we’ll uncover how God’s touch offers hope and guidance through the stories of Jesus welcoming children and the promise of the Holy Spirit. You’ll learn why studying the Bible deepens our faith and understanding of God.
Have you ever witnessed a sandcastle being built at the beach and marvelled at how mere hands could shape something out of nothing? Just as fingers can mold sand into castles, envision the finger of God shaping our world and lives in ways beyond our comprehension! The Bible’s narratives vividly depict how God’s touch can transform everything, leaving us in wonder and amazement.
Learn how these ancient words still guide
One of the most exciting parts about the Bible is that it’s not just a collection of old stories; it’s a powerful guide for us today. Ephesians 1:13-14 (NLT) reminds us, “The Spirit is God’s guarantee that he will give us the inheritance he promised.” This is like the finger of God marking us as His own, giving us hope and a future full of His promises. By learning the Bible, we can learn how these ancient words still guide us in modern times.
Another heartwarming story is in Mark 10:13-16 (NLT), where Jesus lovingly embraced children, affirming that the Kingdom of God is theirs. This narrative illustrates the finger of God inscribing a profound message: everyone, regardless of their stature, is indispensable to Him. It’s comforting to know that we all have a place in God’s vast family, a sense of belonging that is both inclusive and deeply valued.
In John 14:23-26 (NLT), Jesus speaks of sending the Holy Spirit to teach and remind us of His teachings. This is akin to the finger of God gently pointing us in the right direction, helping us comprehend God’s truth and love. By immersing ourselves in the Bible, we open ourselves to God’s guidance, like a reliable compass leading us home. This sense of being guided by God’s finger instils in us deep reassurance and confidence in our spiritual journey.
