“Yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of My hands” (Isaiah 49:15-16).
Have you ever grabbed a pen when someone was giving you their cell number or address and, for lack of paper, written it on your hand? I never have, but I’ve seen plenty of people do it! And there it is, staring at you continually until you transfer the information to a better place, and wash if off.
But here in our verse, the Lord is telling us that our names are graven on His palms. You cannot help but notice something on your palm, and the Lord doesn’t wash it off the next day as we would. It is there permanently! He is telling us that we are continually in His thoughts. His love and grace are always there for us. We will never ever be forgotten.
Our names, from the palms of His hands
Eternity will not erase;
Impressed on His heart they remain
In marks of indelible grace.
