As Creator and Sustainer (1 of 2)
Series: The Work of His Hands

Colossians 1:14-23
Is it not amazing what people can do w/ their hands?
The human hand is an amazing device. W/ our hands we can perform the simplest/most amazing tasks imaginable. We can write, speak, create, love, and discipline w/ these amazingly complex extremities.
Did you know there are 27 bones, 29 joints, 123 ligaments, 48 nerves, 30 arteries, and 34 muscles in the human hand - and yet there are no muscles in your fingers - but a unique system of levers called tendons motivated by muscles in your palms/forearms? Our hands are one complex device.
Did you know that the underside of your hand can't get a tan and that men tend to have ring fingers longer than their index fingers while women tend to have index fingers longer than their ring fingers?
Speaking of fingers - not only does every person have their own unique fingerprint identity completely distinctive from every other person - but your fingers, due to a large number of unique receptors, are one of the most sensitive parts of the body constantly sending enormous amounts of sensory information to the brain - where ¼ of your motor cortex in the brain is dedicated to operating your hands. AMAZING!
And then there are our opposable thumbs - which provide us w/ unbelievable abilities few other animals possess. They're opposable b/c the thumb can be moved around to touch the other fingers giving us the ability to grasp things. Our thumbs are one of the great gifts God has given to us - w/out our thumbs we couldn't hitchhike, say ''ok'', turn doorknobs, give people a thumbs up, a call a batter out - along w/ a host of other things. Maybe this is why Sir Isaac Newton said:
In the absence of any other proof, the thumb alone would convince me of God's existence. Isaac Newton
Seriously, it's amazing (as we can see) what can be done by our hands. I wonder though..., have we ever considered what's been perfor ...
