Question
My question is:  Please help me find the scripture that talks about what God places in your hands and what we are to do with it? And, also what you would say about the subject.  May God bless you!  Thank you.

Answer
Hi Shirley

I know of no Scripture which says anything is specifically placed in our hands, although many had various things including nations delivered into their hands

I think the most obvious instruction is found in Luke 19:12-27
the parable of the talents. Here we are told we are entrusted in certain things and we are expected to use what we have. I also think an understanding of 2 Corinthians 9 is important, basicly here we are told to sow so we can reap and receive the three fold blessing

The Bible calls on us to use the gifts we are given these include healing, preaching and helping.
