Hands Should Please God
(Acrostic)
Hands say allot about someone, by what they do each day.
Are they serving righteousness in the choices that are made?
Not using them to hurt or steal, to undermine God's will.
Do they serve others with God's love and motives that are real?
Sincerity often is seen in what our hands are used to do.
Some showing acts of kindness or signing "I Love You".
Hands can be used to comfort, wiping away someones tear.
Or be slammed to a table causing confusion or fear.
Unruly they can be when anger rules within the heart.
Loud in their doings, guided by someone not thinking smart.
Digging deep the ditches of sin, living the devil's part.
Loud in their doings, guided by someone not thinking smart.
Digging deep the ditches of sin, living the devil's part.
People are given hands to serve the Lord, to build, to bless.
Loving with gentleness, encourage with thoughtfulness.
Ease the pain of others by aiding them in a time of need.
Always ready to be extended, not moved by greed.
Somehow hands seem to speak without saying one single word;
Emotions, seem to be noticed and our hands can be heard.
Good works are often something hands can do so naturally.
Only if done for the Lord, will live eternally.
Do with hands the work of love, with joy and faithful be.
Because hands were made to serve the Lord
with love and dignity.

Proverbs 31:10-
[10] Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.[11] The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
[12] She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
[13] She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
[14] She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
[15] She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
[16] She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
[17] She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
[18] She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
[19] She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
[20] She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
[21] She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
[22] She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
[23] Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
[24] She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
[25] Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
[26] She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
[27] She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
[28] Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
[29] Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
[30] Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
[31] Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
I Love You
