Hand
The Bible often uses the word "hand" to refer to the evidence
that God is at work in a situation. We see the "hand of God"
when we see him working out amazing details in our lives or in the lives
of others. We see God's "hand" in the beauty of the things he
has created, as well as in the process of healing-healing of relationships,
sicknesses and the hearts of people. The Bible often uses"hand"
as a representation of GOd's power, his protection or his ultimate control
over every situation.
