Judges 12:3
And when I saw that ye delivered me not, I put my life in my hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivered them into my hand: wherefore then are ye come up unto me this day, to fight against me? And when I saw that ye delivered me not, I put my life in my hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivered them into my hand: wherefore then are ye come up unto me this day, to fight against me?
To put life in the hands is to be a missionary sent by God to carry the gospel message to every part of the world. Such workers give all their time and all their energy to doing His will. For Christ's sake they endure trial and hardship.
God's actual presence goes with them from place to place as they improve His vineyard. He marks every movement they make. He sees the unfair way they are treated. As a God of justice He sternly calls for their rights to be recognized. He requires the neglect that reproaches His name to be corrected.
