A Scar on Gods Hand “Never! Can a mother forget her nursing child? Can she feel no love for the child she has borne? But even if that were possible, I would not forget you! See, I have written your name on the palms of my hands. Always in my mind is a picture of Jerusalem’s walls in ruins. Isaiah 49:15–16 (NLT) There is something interesting about scars: They follow us wherever we go, and the stories behind them remind us of significant people and events in our lives. Did you know that God bears a scar on his hand in the shape of your picture? Of course, because God is a spirit, he doesn’t have a literal hand. But you’re so present on God’s mind that it’s as though he has engraved your image on the palms of his hands. In the above scripture, the people of Israel had wandered all over the place—both physically and spiritually. After the nation had faced devastation and deportation by King Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonian armies, the people of Israel wondered, “God, have you forgotten us?” God answered through the prophet Isaiah: “I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands” Perhaps the fury of whatever storm you’re facing today may have dims God’s voice and blurs his presence around you. You might ask, “God, have you forgotten me?” How can he be present in the midst of your turmoil? But regardless of the storm’s intensity, you remain in the forefront of God’s thoughts. He’s thinking of you, sustaining you, comforting you, giving you strength. Its therefore important to state that whatever challenge you’re facing isn’t the worst thing that could happen to you. The worst that could happen would be for God to forget about you.But He hasnt and will not. Beloved, do you find it hard to accept that God knows your needs and cares for you to the extent that you’re always on his mind? What events in your life have caused you to ask, “God, have you forgotten me?” The truth is that He will never forget you if your name is written in the Book of Life. So, I hope your name is in the Book of Life. But, If you are not sure, please embrace Jesus today. Good morning & God bless you. Maranatha!
