Genesis 2:7 "And God formed man..." The Hebrew word yatsar, formed, means "to press. Through squeezing into shapes."
See Him, knees bent on the soft sod, resting all His weight on one hand as He works with the other. He is totally absorbed in the task. Already He has finished the inward parts. The sturdy bone and soft sinew have been shaped. Hollow organs were carefully rolled between His fingers and then gently laid in their places. Now He is working on the eyes. They are the most critical part. As He leans in to inspect the eyebrows, His chin brushes against the molded nose and red clay stains His jaw.
Finished He inspects His work. He checks every cell. The lines are symmetrical and the curves balanced. But before He can call it good He checks for one last thing. Yes, they are there! Fingerprints. His fingerprints are stamped on the man's bones and skin: in his brain and on his face. The fingerprints of God, they were our beginning and they are our destiny.
