His Hands Made Us

Psa 119:73 Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.

God made Adam-

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.

And David makes this claim- 'Thy hands have made me and fashioned me'

God has formed us, yes, US, each one of us. We don't want to believe this, in fact most people refuse to believe this. People will bring up those deformed at birth and ask - did God form them too? If so, why did He form them wrong? We can't know the answer to that question, God knows though and that is enough, it has to be enough because --

Deu 29:29 'The secret things belong unto the LORD our God…'

We cannot know the wisdom behind His workings. God created each one of us and man would have us believe otherwise. Man, who has taken pieces out of the bodies God has formed and manipulated them to form children in wombs otherwise barren- believe that it is they who are the author of life, they are the creators of life, they are the ones who have formed that baby in the womb- not God. They couldn't be more wrong. They DID NOT create that egg, they DID NOT create that seed. God allowed them the knowledge of joining them together but it is GOD who forms the child from those manipulated elements. All too often there are MANY manipulated elements that are supposed to take and NEVER do. God forms man- God formed the first man and God will form the very last man.

Deu 32:6 Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?

Deu 32:18 Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.

Job 33:6 Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay.

Isa 43:1 But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.

Isa 43:7 Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.

Isa 44:2 Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.

Isa 44:24 Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself

Jer 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.


Psa 119:73 Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.


The God who formed us, the God who created us, the God who willed us into being can give us understanding. We need understanding if we are to learn of God's commandments. God's wondrous commandments, His law of the purest love upon which we all are called to live. Our natural self will not want understanding, it will not want to learn of God's commandments. Satan doesn't want us to have understanding of God's commandments. Satan knows that when we truly understand God's commandments that we'll understand the amazing love He has for us and that is the last thing the evil one wants us to understand. God can give us understanding, we, like David, must desire that understanding, we must ask for that understanding. We MUST ask knowing that it is God who formed us, God who created us and only God who can open our hearts. We must choose God in spite of all the sensual fleshy ways our natural man would have us focus on ourselves and NOT God.


Psa 119:90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.
Psa 119:91 They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants.


No one alive today, no one who lived in the past has ever seen the earth destroyed, they've never seen the sun destroyed, they've never seen the sun not set, the sun not rise, the moon not show its many phases, the seasons never change, the ocean lose it's ebb and flow, the majestic mountains fall to nothing, the stars no longer guiding. All these things, all these undeniable and set forces were created to be that way and only arrogant man has decided they just came into existence by pure chance. God created all these things and they serve God! Yet man would have them be gods, foolish, foolish man.


Psa 119:97 O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day.

Can you even begin to imagine meditating upon God's law all day? We're lucky if we can even think of God's law for a moment in a day let alone meditate upon it ALL day. The love of God's law is amazing. When we realize that it is by the law of God that we live, that we breathe, that we love how can we help but recognize the law in all we do? We've stripped the law of God's love away from our lives and put it on a pedestal or in a trash heap- either place has it's dangers because when we take the law of God out of our lives and make it inaccessible we've lost all the true meaning of God's law. When we consign the law to a trash heap and believe it no longer matters we've taken God out of life and substituted a false god for the true. God's law is love, God is love.

We lose the love of God that Jesus came to reveal to us in the flesh when we set the law aside- either making it too high to reach or too low to bother with.


Please God, you who fashioned us in the womb, you who knew us before we were born, help us to understand and learn Your amazing commandments. Help us to find the love in them that guides us every single day of our lives. You are revealed in Your law, Jesus lived Your law perfectly, let us not set aside something so incredibly important to our Savior- He did not come to destroy the law.

Open our hearts and our minds to You Lord, let the Holy Spirit come down and comfort us, teach us, help us in all ways.


All through Your grace!

Amen.
