We are God's hands - 2 Chronicles 6-10

We are the hand of God.   After Solomon had built the temple he dedicated it to the Lord.   Solomon recognized that God had fulfilled his father, David's desire through him.  God promised He would complete the temple, not through David, but through David's Son.   But, note the way he articulates God working within this project:

2 Chronicles 6:15

(God) who has kept with Your servant David, my father, that which You have promised him; indeed You have spoken with Your mouth and have fulfilled it with "Your hand", as it is this day.

Solomon recognizes that it was God who completed the temple.  God fulfilled what He promised with His "mouth" and fulfilled it with His "hands."  But, who's hands actually did the work?  It was God working through the hands of the nation of Israel that fulfilled the promise.   God's hands are the actions of His obedient people.   When God needs to build something he chooses to do so through our hands.  When God needs to touch someone He does so through our hands.   When God needs to care for someone He does so through our hands.   We are the hands of God.  In 1 Corinthians 12 we read about the Body of Christ and the Body Parts of God.   We all fulfill those parts.   Today as we interact with God we may be called to be His mouth, His hands, His feet, His legs, His back.   God is glorified when we allow Him to use us to accomplish His desire.
