In the Bible, the โright hand of Godโ is a significant symbolic concept that represents power and authority (Psalms 89:13โ14, Matthew 26:64), protection and support (Psalms 16:11, 63:8), salvation and redemption (Acts 2:33), judgment and victory (Psalms110:1, Revelation 5:1โ7). Itโs often used to describe Godโs Power and ability to accomplish His purposes.
Exodus 15:6 declares, โThy right hand, O Lord, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O Lord, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.โ This verse forms the cornerstone of our devotion today, revealing the grand inspiring might of Godโs right hand.
In our tumultuous world, we often face challenges that seem insurmountable and enemies that threaten to overwhelm us. Itโs easy to feel overwhelmed by the chaos and uncertainties of our times. Yet, through the lens of Exodus 15:6, we can find comfort, peace, hope, and a renewed sense of purpose.
- 1. The Power of Godโs Right Hand Against Enemies โ The Bible demonstrates the incredible power of Godโs right hand in defeating the adversaries of His people. Consider David and Goliathโs story (1 Samuel 17:45) or the Red Sea parting (Exodus 14:21). Godโs right hand, once mighty, can overcome today whatever our spiritual battles, personal struggles, and societal challenges, proving its strength in conquering enemies in the present, just as it did in the past.
- 2. The Guiding and Protecting Hand of God โ Godโs right hand isnโt only a force of destruction; itโs also a source of guidance and protection. In Isaiah 41:10 we read, โFear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.โ Godโs right hand upholds us, strengthens us, and provides us with the guidance we need. In a world filled with uncertainties and dangers, we can trust in His right hand to lead us safely.
- 3. The Ultimate Power of Godโs Right Hand in Salvation โ The ultimate display of Godโs power through His right hand is evident in the work of salvation through Jesus Christ. Acts 2:32โ33 says, โThis Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. Therefore, being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.โ Christโs sacrifice and resurrection provide eternal deliverance, offering salvation and the promise of the Holy Spirit.
Brethren, the power of Godโs right hand, as revealed in Exodus 15:6, is not confined to the pages of ancient history. Godโs right hand represents His supreme power, protection, salvation through Jesus Christ, victory over enemies, and eternal glory. Itโs a symbol of His authority and favor, offering great comfort and hope to believers.
As we face the challenges of todayโs world, let us remember that the same right hand that delivered the Israelites and raised Jesus from the dead is with us, mighty to save and uphold us. Jesus said in John 10:28: โAnd I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.โ
Anyone around us who tries to take the grace of salvation that was bestowed upon us has to deal with the One who holds us tightly, the Lord Jesus Christ. May we live by leaning on Godโs hand and walking in His ways.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, we thank You for the profound truth revealed in Your Word about the power of Your right hand. In the midst of lifeโs challenges, we trust in Your mighty hand to conquer our enemies, guide us, and offer us eternal salvation through Jesus Christ. Help us to lean on Your strength and walk in Your ways. In Jesusโ name, we pray. Amen.
