IT ALL DEPENDS

This poem I'm sure you're likely to have seen before but I just want you to think about it again. Have you ever wondered how many times we attempt to get things done on our own. I've always asked one question: What does it matter what effort you put in if God was not going to do it in the first place?

I honestly think the greatest weakness we have to overcome as humans is our ILLUSION about ourselves- we tend to think more of ourselves than we really are, and that's why we find it hard to learn to trust God. But as you'll see, whatever turns out of whatever, IT ALL DEPENDS...


A basketball in my hands is worth about $19.
A basketball in Michael Jordan's hands is worth about $33 million.
It depends on whose hands it's in.

A baseball in my hands is worth about $6.
A baseball in Mark McGuire's hands is worth $19 million.
It depends on whose hands it's in.

A tennis racket is useless in my hands.
A tennis racket in Venus Williams' hands is a Wimbledon Championship.
It depends on whose hands it's in.

A rod in my hands will keep away a wild animal.
A rod in Moses' hands will part the mighty sea.
It depends on whose hands it's in.

A sling shot in my hands is a kid's toy.
A sling shot in David's hand is a mighty weapon.
It depends on whose hands it's in.

Two fish and five loaves of bread in my hands is a couple of fish sandwiches.
Two fish and five loaves of bread in God's hands will feed thousands.
It depends on whose hands it's in.

Nails in my hands might produce a birdhouse.
Nails in Jesus Christ's hands will produce salvation for the entire world.
It depends on whose hands it's in.

As you see now it depends whose hands it's in.
So put your concerns, your worries, your fears,
your hopes, your dreams, your families and your relationships
in God's Hands because ...
...it depends on Whose Hands it's in.
