Your Hands

“Your hands made me and formed me; give me understanding to learn your commands.” (Psalm 119:73)

Does God have hands? We don’t know but that is the only way we can describe God. We have to use human terms. We form things with our hands, God spoke and things came into being. Regardless whether God formed us with His hands or with His voice He made us and we are His. Because He made us we should want to know more about the One Who made us. The only way we can truly know Him is through His word. His word shows us His character and His plans for us.

Jeremiah tells about the potter who took clay and formed it into the vessel that he wanted. When the vessel was flawed he broke it down and reformed it. Paul tells us that we are jars of clay. We are jars of clay formed by the hands of the Potter. He can make us to be whatever He wants us to be. We have no right to question the Potter but to do what He has formed us to do. His Word teaches us that. Our part is to be students of the Word and obey His commands.
