It Is In Your Hands

I saw this story on LinkedIn and thought I would share it.

Once upon a time there was a wise old man who lived in a small, remote village. Like most wise old men, he had some not so wise folks that wanted to prove him wrong. In fact, there was a young man who devised a scheme to publicly put the wise old man to shame. He captured a small bird from a nearby tree and quickly approached the old man. Holding the bird behind his back he challenged the old man by saying "Tell me wise old man; is the bird alive or is it dead?" His plan was flawless because if the old man said alive, he would crush it and if he said dead he would release the bird. Both scenarios would surely prove the old man a fool. The old man confidently pondered the situation and then calmly said "The answer lies in your hands"

So often the answer is in our hands. something God has asked us to do in the word, during our prayer time or with His still small voice. Once we do that something, we show our obedience to God and open up the access to all of God's Blessings that He so lovingly wants to give to us.
