When we are asked how things are going, we may simply reply, “Fine!” Perhaps there are days when things are going exceptionally well and our reply might be, “Things are mighty fine!” There are situations we may find ourselves in and declare, “I’m fine with that.” There are also relationships we share that have been well developed of which we again might declare “I’m fine with that.” What do we mean when we say “fine”? Do we merely mean “okay” or are we using the word to imply “excellent in quality”? Would that not be truly “mighty fine”?
The word fine is also used with reference to purity. That sounds “mighty fine” as well when we are talking about our life. With our life placed in the hands of God do we have a faith that is able to declare that life is “mighty fine” because of that relationship?
Note David’s encouraging outlook as he considered his relationship with God.
“(14) But I trust in you, O Lord; I say, “You are my God.” (15) My times are in your hand; rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from my persecutors!” (Psalm 31:14-15 ESV)
David’s trust was in God. He was “mighty fine” leaving his life in God’s hands. He knew that was always best because God was more merciful than man. (note 2 Samuel 24:14)
Perhaps the following little rhyme is a good declaration of our faith in the relationship we have developed with God: God is mine and I am fine! For God to truly be our God and knowing the might of His Sovereign power, have we developed a sense about life that can help us declare that in His hands we truly are “mighty fine”? Let us also be encouraged that as fine as we are in the hands of God now, things are going to get even finer; even more mighty finer than we might imagine. With God as our God, He has great things in store for us. I’m “mighty fine” with that. Are you?
Have a great day BEING REFINED IN GOD’S GOOD HANDS!
