An artist paints a farmer working on the fields using his hands.
The farmer toils the fields with his hands to put food on tables.
And YOU.
That’s right, we’re talking about YOU.
You use your hands to eat that food on the table.
Now take a few minutes looking at your hand. Our hands have multi-functional features more than what this Swiss Army knife in the collection of the New York Museum of Modern Art and the State Museum of Applied Art in Munich, Germany can do. You may be impressed by the usefulness of Swiss knives, but looking at your hand right now it would impress you more to know that aside from the daily functions of your hands. Here are some really superb facts about our hands:
- In the Bible, the right hand signify good works as stated in Ecclesiastes 10:2 and Ecclesiastes 9:10
"A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.
"
"Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
"
- Our hand identifications include our fingerprints and our handedness that is if we are left-handed or right-handed
- No two people have the same exact fingerprints; even identical twins don’t have exactly the same fingerprints.
- There is one in a 64 billion chance for two people to have identical fingerprints according to scientist Sir Francis Galton.
- Our fingerprints are visible back when we were still in the wombs of our mothers, that’s in the 17th week of pregnancy to be exact.
- Same is the case with determining if we will be right handed or south-paws. Its the LRRTM1 gene that dictates if you will be left-handed.
We can make an endless list of facts about the hand and this is just one part of our body. We don’t need to brave remote rain forests or dive into sea bottoms to see the breathtaking works of God, just below our noses we have a concrete example of the awesome work of our Great Creator. Bro. Eli Soriano and Bro. Daniel Razon, Ministers of the Members Church of God International when talking about the wonders of God’s creations, often cite our hands as an example. Bro. Eli had taught from the Bible that the hands serve as man’s identification and this part of our body is a tangible evidence of the complexity of the creations of God’s hands. The rest of our body also attests that we are one of the masterpieces of God and just as a painter finishes a masterpiece, His hand places His signature of good works on us, His best work of art. |
