Hand-iwork of the Creator


I'll never look at my hand the same way again after this week. Was lamenting with my friends about how impossible it is to remember all about the anatomy of the hand as it in itself contains 18 muscles that helps us in doing such wonderfully precised movements like typing, gripping, writing, etc.

Just to name a few, the flexor pollicis brevis muscle helps in bending your thumb & the flexor digiti minimi brevis helps in bending the little finger. That's not all, another two different muscles work in bending them back to their original position. The complexity of our human body is just so amazing, no wonder the psalmist said that we are fearfully and wonderfully made!

Sometimes we just get so comfortable using our hands that we lose the sense of appreciation towards it. So the next time you want to use your hands for anything at all, perhaps the next moment when u touch your keyboard, just remember to thank the Creator for this masterpiece that is laid in front of your eyes.
