In the Master's hands

Imagine someone gifting you an expensive MRF cricket bat worth ₹50,000 and asking you to play with the Indian cricket team. You might try your best, even manage a few shots. But now picture that same bat in the hands of a legend like Virat Kohli. Suddenly, it’s not just a bat—it becomes an instrument of brilliance. Interestingly, even if Kohli were handed a cheap, ordinary bat, he would still amaze us. Why? Because it’s not the bat that makes the difference. It’s the hands that hold it.

In the same way, your life may feel ordinary. You may wonder if you’re equipped or capable enough to make a difference in your family, your work, or your church. But here’s the truth: it’s not about how strong, talented, or qualified you are—it’s about whose hands you are in.

You are an instrument in the hands of the Master. And when you place your life fully in God’s hands, miracles can happen.

"But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us." — 2 Corinthians 4:7 (NIV)

God delights in using what the world sees as weak or ordinary to accomplish extraordinary things. All He asks is your willing heart and surrendered life.

“Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself… he will be a vessel for honour, sanctified and useful to the Master, prepared for every good work.” — 2 Timothy 2:21 (NKJV)

Your family may be facing challenges. Your role might feel unnoticed. But when you let God lead, He works through you in powerful ways—bringing healing, unity, and purpose.

Don’t underestimate what God can do through your life. You are more than enough because He is more than able. Submit yourself into His loving and capable hands, and trust Him to do wonders—starting right where you are.

“Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this.” — Psalm 37:5 (NIV)
