A Mighty Hand and An Outstretched Arm

“It is I, who by my great power and my outstretched arm have made the earth.” —Jeremiah 27:5

THE FACT THAT the mighty hand and outstretched arm of the great Creator was spoken of over and over again in the Scriptures, indicates that our Heavenly Father wanted us to be completely certain—thoroughly convinced—of his almighty power, and that it was available on behalf of his children in ages past, today, and in the ages to come. A few scriptures which give assurance of this, besides our theme text cited above, are quoted here:

“Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened that it cannot save, or his ear dull that it cannot hear.”—Isaiah 59:1

“Your [Jehovah’s] arm is endued with power; your hand is strong, your right hand exalted.”—Psalm 89:13, New International Version

“These all wait upon thee. … When thou openest thy [the Lord’s] hand, they are filled with good things.”—Psalm 104:27,28, Scofield’s Translation
