Isaiah 49:16(KJV)
Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.
The thought of God engraving us on the Palms of His Hands is so precious that we can run over it in our minds again and again. He loves us so much that He has our names inscribed on His Palm. Our God can never forget us, He has us so close to Him that He ensures all things work together for our good, gives people for our sake and protects us as the apple of His Eyes. He sees and remembers you every second of the day, and He is always available and willing to help you. As the Lord promised to engrave His people on His Palms, so Jesus stretched out His Arms on the Cross, receiving the nails in His Hands so we could be free of our sins.
When we go through the trials, troubles, and tribulation of life there is always the temptation to think that God has forgotten us. It is quite likely that you have gone through a period of time where you have felt like you are facing the impossible. The feelings and emotions of being alone and far from God seem to overwhelm you during these seasons but you are not alone in these struggles you are facing right now. Understand that God has engraved us upon the Palms of His Hands! We are always before the eyes of the Lord and His Love for us never fails. Although God may allow the trials, troubles, and tribulations of life into our lives, we should not draw the conclusion from this that He does not care about us and that He has forgotten about us. Deuteronomy 31:8 says “Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.”
Beloved, if and when we’re tempted to think that God has forgotten us, we only need to look at our palms and remember God’s Promise. He has put indelible marks on His Hands for us, He loves us that much. As a child of God always remember God really cares about you and that He has not forgotten you. He has the pictures of you in His palm to prove it. Psalm 27:10 says “Even if my father and mother abandon me, the Lord will hold me close.” The Lord is close to hold you as long as you live a righteous life.
O God, thank You, that I am Yours forever. I’m thankful that I am engraved in the Palms of Your HAND in Jesus’ Name.
