You’re in Good Hands with Allstate. This insurance company slogan is one of the longest running and most recognizable in the business world. I found out that this slogan is just that, a slogan that is meant to sell insurance, but that’s all. The ‘good hands’ of Allstate let me down this week. I discovered that my homeowners insurance policy doesn’t cover water damage, no matter how that water got into your basement. So, following the 10 inches of rain last weekend, we have wet stuff at the curb that is a loss.
Counting my blessings - Our house didn’t float down the river or take on several inches or even several feet of water. There are many people who suffered much greater at the hands of the storm than we did at the hands of Allstate.
The really good hands - The ‘good hands’ slogan reminds me of the only pair of hands you can always depend on, always trust. These are loving, caring, strong, faithful hands. These are not human hands, but the hands of God.
No matter what your "Storm Story", you can reach out for God’s hand, and it is always there. Jesus went through storms on the Sea of Galilee with His disciples, and God is in the middle of your storm, too. He wants to shelter you and hide you under His wings. Don’t make the mistake of running from God when the winds pick up. Run to Him. He really loves you. He may speak to the winds and waves, "Peace, be still," or He may hold you close and comfort you as you ride out the storm. Either way, you’re in God’s hands. There is no better place to be, no matter what the situation.
You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. Ps. 16:11 NIV
...Your right hand has held me up, ...Ps. 18:35
Show Your marvelous lovingkindness by Your right hand, Ps. 17:7
The right hand of the LORD is exalted; The right hand of the LORD does valiantly. Ps. 118:16
May you know the comfort, protection, safety and love of the only truly ‘good hands.’
Enjoying the Journey,
David
