Significance of Fingers
Hello again readers! How blessed we are today that God extends our lives with a new day. A day that allows us to experience His goodness and unconditional love through the nature He has given to us and even the priceless gifts He shared to us like air, water and even the energy from the sun. We should be thankful and grateful that despite of being sinful, He still loves us. Thus, we don't have reasons not to love Him back.
For today's article, I am particular to one of the parts of our body. May be we are wondering why God created us with two eyes but with only one mouth. We have two ears but with only one mind. We do have also two hands but with one and only one heart ❤️.
Now, we'll be going to my topic deeply. Try to look at your hands or even with your right hand only. Do you know why we have five fingers in each hand? May be you knew their names. We have thumb finger, point or index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and what's the last one? I forgot it. Yah it's pinky finger. But do we know their significance? What is the meaning of each finger? For me, each finger represents people's life, status, or position. Maybe you have searched the significance of each five fingers or its symbolic meaning. But we could feel unsatisfied to the information given.
Here is my version how I give the meaning of each five fingers. Each finger is represented by people's classification or status.
The pinky finger
Among the five fingers, this is the shortest and yet little finger known as pinky finger. It is where a signet or finger ring is worn. In people classification, these are the weak, helpless, and innocent people who are easily overlooked in the society. They have less voice to express their feelings and emotions.
Romantically, these are young people who take time for entering into serious life.
The ring finger
This is the finger next to pinky finger. This finger is for commitment. Traditionally, this is where a wedding ring is worn. Having this, it tells to everyone that he or she is not available anymore.
This is represented by strong and matured people who are fully grown and developed. They are ready to get into serious relationships. And besides, these people have commitments, duties and responsibilities to perform.
The middle finger
This finger is found at the center. This is also the tallest or longest finger of the five fingers which plays the central function. In the society, these are the group of people who are known to all. Famous people like politicians, artists, vloggers, businessmen, lords and kings.
Among the five, this is the highest finger. In this classification of people, most of them possess bad traits such as pride, self-centered and overconfident.
The index finger
The fourth finger is the index finger. This finger is for authority. Same as middle finger, they have also the right or authority to lead people. Using the point finger,they are the one who gave commands and instructions in a certain group or organization.
Like parents as first educators, they raised their children to become good Christian and citizen. They teach them values and good character that include different virtues of life.
Likewise, in school the teachers performed as second parents to the learners. They didn't only teach them different intelligences from various learning subjects but they also teach values. Because true education will not be acquired without inculcation of proper behaviour.
The thumb finger
This finger is short and thick next to point finger. This is the part of our hand where baby wants most likely to suck. According to vocabulary.com, it helps us to grip objects with care and precision. We can't hold properly the chopstick without our thumb finger.
Looking at our fingers again, thumb finger is really different to other fingers. It is short and yet it has important role for them.
For me, it is represented with the almighty Father, our God redeemer. He is a great designer who created our body with respective functions. For without Him, we do really nothing.
Whatever our positions and status here on earth, whether you are famous or not, rich or poor, it's a reality that we will die. We will go back to God's hands with empty-handed. It matters the goodness you have done that we can enter into his kingdom.
Try to close our hands, the thumb finger separates. It has only one meaning. If all will die, in the eyes of God, we are all equal.
Closing Thoughts:
Like those of our fingers we humans are also varying in terms of a lot of things. We differ in pace, we progress differently and in different ways. We achieve things and goals is different time. Given that we are in the same footing does not assure the reach the finish line at the same time.
Thanks for your great time.
Happy Thursday everyone. Keep safe.
