He's got the whole world in His hands

A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows,
is God in his holy dwelling.
- Psalm 68:5


Was just sharing this with matz recently and shared it again today in preparing for our personal testimonies for cambodia.

when we come to know Jesus as our personal Lord and Saviour, we begin to enjoy several things:
  • peace
  • protection
  • power
  • purpose
  • provision
Genesis 26
1
Now there was a famine in the land—besides the earlier famine of Abraham's time—and Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines in Gerar. 2 The LORD appeared to Isaac and said, "Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land where I tell you to live. 3 Stay in this land for a while, and I will be with you and will bless you. For to you and your descendants I will give all these lands and will confirm the oath I swore to your father Abraham. 4 I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and will give them all these lands, and through your offspring [a] all nations on earth will be blessed, 5 because Abraham obeyed me and kept my requirements, my commands, my decrees and my laws." 6 So Isaac stayed in Gerar.12 Isaac planted crops in that land and the same year reaped a hundredfold, because the LORD blessed him. 13 The man became rich, and his wealth continued to grow until he became very wealthy. 14 He had so many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines envied him. 15 So all the wells that his father's servants had dug in the time of his father Abraham, the Philistines stopped up, filling them with earth.

even in these troubled times, its so good to remember that the Lord remembers us. time and time again the Lord has provided for my family:
  • my father's passing away
  • asian financial crisis
  • mom's company bankrupt
  • funding for my Uni studies
  • getting a great job after graduation
  • funding for my younger sister's education
So great to know that He's got the whole world in His hand.

He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name. - Psalm 147:4

and He knows our every need :)

And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus - Phil 4:19
