The Handiwork of God

Psalm 8:3-5 (NKJV): “When I consider Your heavens, The work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained, What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him? For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor.”

Ephesians 2:10 (NIV): “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”

THE HANDS OF GOD HELP US BECAUSE WE ARE GOD’S HANDIWORK!

The LORD will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O LORD, endures forever; Do not forsake the works of Your hands.” Job 36:32 (NASB 1995, AMP):  “He covers His hands with the lightning, And commands it to strike the mark.” 

GOD’S HANDS DELIVER US FROM OUR TROUBLES, Exodus 13:3 (NJKV): “And Moses said to the people: ‘Remember this day in which you went out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out of this place…’” 

GOD’S HANDS SECURE OUR VICTORY, Psalm 98:1 (NKJV), “Oh, sing to the LORD a new song! For He has done marvelous things; His right hand and His holy arm have gained Him the victory.”
