Psalms 138:8 KJV
The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
The Psalmist describes himself, and I can see the wisdom in describing ourselves, as simply "the works of thine own hands."
To view ourselves in such a manner is humbling.
It reminds us that we are but dust. Life doesn't spring from us but from our God. We are responsible to Him for our very lives and we need to look to Him as the sustainer of life.
To view ourselves in such a way is also reassuring.
We are the works of His own hands. We are His concern. We may be assured of His care and of His watching over us.
