Gen 2:7 –  And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Hands are an awesome creation. Infinitely more true is that the creator of those hands is much more knowledgeable about creating hands as He is in using them.

After all, a master workmen will continue to hone his craft until one day all He produces is the best possible outcome or trashes the rare mistakes and starts over while maintaining the highest efficiency and proficiency that his trade can produce.

Rest easy and assured that we all are in the awesome hands of the Master Potter and will that comes a profound and earth- shattered view of the mind of Christ on the matter. All things are yours.

Formation of all of us

During this introductory study, I hope we will all come to better understand through inspiration and revelation of the Holy Spirit, the aionios life we all have been promised and are experiencing now in this tabernacle of flesh.

Truly, God works with “awesome hands.” On urban dictionary. com, I found this as a top definition for the word awesome:

awesome 6788 up, 1867 down
Something Americans use to describe everything.Oh wow it’s just awesome

Lol. However, the word stems and has root in the word awe. From dictionary. references. com we can see a few defined facts about how this word is used now.

World English Dictionary

awesome (s m)
adj
1. inspiring or displaying awe
2. slang excellent or outstanding
‘awesomely
adv
‘awesomeness
nCollins English Dictionary

Word Origin & History

awesome

c.1600, “profoundly reverential,” from awe + – some. Meaning “inspiring awe” is from 1670s; weakened colloquial sense of “impressive, very good” is recorded by 1961 and was in vogue from after c.1980.

Online Etymology Dictionary

Here are three times where we see “awe- ness” or being in awe described in scripture.

Psa 4:4 –  Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
Psa 33:8 –  Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
Psa 119:161 –  SCHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.

Obviously, being in awe of everything means that we are encapsulated with the thing we are experiencing, seeing, feeling, etc.

There are rarely such earth quakes in our lives, and such occurrences in our lives tend to wake us up from our sleep.

Indeed, we are brought to life just like light being formed in the dark ness.  Just as we are all formed from the dust of the ground by the potter, we too are formed in the spiritual to be sharpened into the vessel of honor that we are all destined to become.

However, the timing of such a miraculous birth and life is unique to each of us and just as we as masterfully being woven into a tool which can give God total glory, we will also experience the “work” that goes into making such an exquisite piece of work.

We simply must start from the beginning of the process, and as with all healthy births, we must start with the Head.

The End from the Beginning

Mar 9:35 –  And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.
Mar 9:36 –  And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,

Mat 13:35 –  That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
Luk 11:50 –  That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
Joh 17:23 –  I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
Joh 17:24 –  Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

Heb 9:25 –  Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
Heb 9:26 –  For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
Heb 9:27 –  And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Heb 9:28 –  So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
1Pe 1:20 –  Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
1Pe 1:21 –  Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
1Pe 1:22 –  Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
1Pe 1:23 –  Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
1Pe 1:24 –  For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
1Pe 1:25 –  But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
Rev 13:6 –  And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

Rev 13:9 –  If any man have an ear, let him hear.
Rev 13:10 –  He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

Patience and Faith

Christ went through a lot and that is such a short synopsis that I am almost ashamed to write “a lot”. What He did for others in the flesh, went through and still goes through spiritually is unfathomable for us to understand while carnally minded.

Yet, we can be comforted knowing and having wisdom to understand that He has now paved the Way to show us the Truth of the Life that is in us, a great mystery.

As we read through various scripture and are given spiritual sight and hearing to grasp what has been hidden to most, we start to see that since Christ is the Alpha and Omega, Beginning and End … He might have a thing or two to teach us before our vapor of smoke is extinguished.

Hands of Glory

“In part one, we looked briefly over what it is to be formed by the hands of the Potter but of course this pottery making goes both ways.

Rom 9:21 –  Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
1Co 15:43 –  It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
2Ti 2:20 –  But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
2Ti 2:21 –  If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.
2Ti 2:22 –  Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
2Ti 2:23 –  But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.

During this study, I am hoping that we can all have opened up to us some of the mystery of Christ in us, our hope of Glory.

Col 1:27 –  To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

Each and every day of our lives, we have experiences, hopes, dreams, fights, thoughts, emotions, fears and a whole array of issues and problems that we deal with. Quite easily and often, we are so bombarded that we cannot help but feel powerless but even though we are powerless ourselves to change these things we know we understand the source of all things.

Before we get into why the Lord does what He does, let’s see some examples of what He has done to others throughout scripture.

When the Lord involves Himself in a matter in such a way as to let us in on what it is He is doing, we get a whole other glimpse into what He is doing according to His mind on the subject and what can be gleaned from the black and white letters we read on the paper.

When we take this to be true, we can look at a topic such has the hands or our hands and what they teach us. More importantly, we can look at what the Lord and what He chooses to put His hands to tells us about how we are to Love God, Jesus the Christ whom He has sent or our neighbor as ourselves.

Knowing how hands represent is huge in understanding how and why our Lord and God deals with us as He does.

When we put forth our hand at something, we see many results:

Gen 3:22 –  And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
Gen 4:11 –  And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand;
Gen 8:9 –  But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.
Gen 9:1 –  And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
Gen 9:2 –  And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
Gen 9:3 –  Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
Gen 9:4 –  But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
Gen 9:5 –  And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man’s brother will I require the life of man.
Gen 9:6 –  Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
Gen 14:18 –  And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.
Gen 14:19 –  And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:
Gen 14:20 –  And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
Gen 14:22 –  And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,

When we put forth our hands, we see similar things happen as we put forth even more effort:

Gen 5:29 –  And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD hath cursed.
Gen 16:7 –  And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.
Gen 16:8 –  And he said, Hagar, Sarai’s maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.
Gen 16:9 –  And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
Gen 16:10 –  And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
Gen 16:11 –  And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.

So, we have seen that the Lord puts forth His hands and does His works and we have also read briefly that we too put forth our hands to do works. Putting ours hands to anything means quite a lot when we compare the sum of the word to find out what we can glean about this topic.

2h 17:15 –  And next to him was Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and fourscore thousand.
2h 17:16 –  And next him was Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself unto the LORD; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour.
2h 17:18 –  And next him was Jehozabad, and with him an hundred and fourscore thousand ready prepared for the war.
2h 31:15 –  And next him were Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in their set office, to give to their brethren by courses, as well to the great as to the small:
Neh 3:1 –  Then Eliashib the high priest rose up with his brethren the priests, and they builded the sheep gate; they sanctified it, and set up the doors of it; even unto the tower of Meah they sanctified it, unto the tower of Hananeel.
Neh 3:2 –  And next unto him builded the men of Jericho. And next to them builded Zaccur the son of Imri.
Neh 3:4 –  And next unto them repaired Meremoth the son of Urijah, the son of Koz. And next unto them repaired Meshullam the son of Berechiah, the son of Meshezabeel. And next unto them repaired Zadok the son of Baana.
Neh 3:5 –  And next unto them the Tekoites repaired; but their nobles put not their necks to the work of their Lord.
Neh 3:7 –  And next unto them repaired Melatiah the Gibeonite, and Jadon the Meronothite, the men of Gibeon, and of Mizpah, unto the throne of the governor on this side the river.
Neh 3:8 –  Next unto him repaired Uzziel the son of Harhaiah, of the goldsmiths. Next unto him also repaired Hananiah the son of one of the apothecaries, and they fortified Jerusalem unto the broad wall.
Neh 3:9 –  And next unto them repaired Rephaiah the son of Hur, the ruler of the half part of Jerusalem.
Neh 3:10 –  And next unto them repaired Jedaiah the son of Harumaph, even over against his house. And next unto him repaired Hattush the son of Hashabniah.
Neh 3:12 –  And next unto him repaired Shallum the son of Halohesh, the ruler of the half part of Jerusalem, he and his daughters.
Neh 13:12 –  Then brought all Judah the tithe of the corn and the new wine and the oil unto the treasuries.
Neh 13:13 –  And I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah: for they were counted faithful, and their office was to distribute unto their brethren.

All these examples we just read are the same words translated so many times as hand or hands but now we see that this is next to him. Do you see the correlation yet?

Maybe the next group of words will help shine some light on the topic:

Deu 32:36 –  For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.
Jos 8:20 –  And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and, behold, the smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way: and the people that fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers.
2Ki 19:25 –  Hast thou not heard long ago how I have done it, and of ancient times that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste fenced cities into ruinous heaps.

Neh 5:5 –  Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children: and, lo, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought unto bondage already: neither is it in our power to redeem them; for other men have our lands and vineyards.

Dan 12:7 –  And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
Hos 13:14 –  I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.

Consecrated
We have seen that we are formed from His hands, and power is represented by the thing we have set out to do, so what is one of the huge things that the Lord hands do in our lives once we have been formed and been breathed into. Some other words translated from hands can be seen below.

From the beginning, Christ has been set aside and we too, in Him, have been slain from the foundation of the world.

Exo 28:40 –  And for Aaron’s sons thou shalt make coats, and thou shalt make for them girdles, and bonnets shalt thou make for them, for glory and for beauty.

Exo 32:30 –  And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the LORD; peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin.

2h 13:9 –  Have ye not cast out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the nations of other lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of them that are no gods.
Ezekiel 43:26 –  Seven days shall they purge the altar and purify it; and they shall consecrate themselves.

Consecrated

Exo 29:29 –  And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons’ after him, to be anointed therein, and to be consecrated in them.
Lev 21:10 –  And he that is the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his clothes;

Ministry

2h 7:6 –  And the priests waited on their offices: the Levites also with instruments of musick of the LORD, which David the king had made to praise the LORD, because his mercy endureth for ever, when David praised by their ministry; and the priests sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel stood.

Service

1h 6:31 –  And these are they whom David set over the service of song in the house of the LORD, after that the ark had rest.

1h 29:5 –  The gold for things of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for all manner of work to be made by the hands of artificers. And who then is willing to consecrate his service this day unto the LORD?

Conclusion

In the beginning, God fashioned Christ from the foundation of the world to be last among the world. The world simply does not accept nor cannot accept Christ because believing on Christ is usurping the beast from the throne.

We have many trials and tribulations which seem too hard to bare, but with love for one another … as we are commanded, we can be the Light to the world in others that we are commanded to be. This is all of the Lord, but as we are continually given the mind of Christ on the subject, we will see that all that is in the world has been conquered and defeated by He that is in the world but not of it.

Be not of the world and the devil will flee from you as the hedge is placed around you.

Today, we have simply touched on this topic of the awesome hands of the Lord. Lord willing, we will begin to search out and study the meaning of each of the scriptures where we find the work of the hands of the Lord in play and in His name and in doing so we come close to seeing Him reflected more and more in a a glass darkly as He works through our hands and works to accomplish His will all to His glory..

Even so, come quickly Lord.
