Underhanded Or The Upper Hand?

But you his successor, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart even though you knew all this. Instead you have exalted yourself against The Lord of heaven... you praised the gods made of silver and gold, bronze, Iron, wood and stone which do not see or hear or understand. But you have not glorified The God who holds your life and all your ways in His hands. That very night, Belshazzar, the king of the Chaldeans was killed.

Daniel 5:22-30

My sheep hear my voice, I know them and they follow Me. I give them eternal life and they will never perish--ever! No one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of The Father's hand.

John 10:27-29

I have a focus fixer card that reads, 'Who are you "REALLY" working for?' Mike Stull and His beautiful daughter, Hannah, are my go to, graphic gifted geniuses, who are the design beauty behind The Savior's beautiful Truth in these cards. This would read just as well though if it said, 'Who and what are you really living for?' Benedict Arnold will always stand in history as a traitor, a man who excelled in the underhanded deed, and is villified as such. He was a great disappointment to General George Washington. Belshazzar, though, is forever remembered as the king who was a great disappointment to The God of all creation and found out the hard way that to not know who you REALLY work for and answer to can have disasterous, eternal consequences. To be known as underhanded is a brand and tattoo that only Christ Jesus can remove. Everyday we choose to be either underhanded or to take The Upper Hand. Choose wisely because your life and all your ways are on the table...In His Hand.

Joshua 24:15, John 1:11-13

"He is no fool who gives that which he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose."
