Shield of Armor - W. 33

Why is the skin of a person different than the bark of a tree ?

One simple difference is that Hashem has provided us with the brains & the capacity to put on a sweater , jacket or coat as it gets colder. We can also walk in to a warmer place & turn up the heat.
The tree is rooted to its position , however , in the sun or cold weather. Thus Hashem provides it with a " thick skin " to cope with the elements.
But how do we know when to go where & what to wear ?
Hashem has designed skin receptors that register heat , cold , contact , pressure & pain. This skin wrapper , grows & regrows with the person to fit snugly & securely around us perfectly.
Look at the amazing network of lines on your hands to accomodate all of the flexing movements that your miraculous fingers & hands are capable of , Baruch Hashem.
Now may be a good time for a gem of Torah study.
