Memorise: Behold, I have
graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.
Isaiah 49:16
One of the most depressing experiences of life is
being forgotten by friends, relatives, family members, and those you really
count on. Somehow you hope that you that you mean enough to people around that
they wont just forget and abandon you when you need them the most. This is so
important to the average person that some have joined social clubs and endure inconveniences to attend social functions and ceremonies as means of building
future credit with people in order to guarantee patronage whenever the arises.
The fear of being alone, forgotten, abandoned and separated from loved ones is
so genuine and real that Jesus had to cry aloud with much agony when He
suffered a similar fate on the cross of cavalry. The Bible in Matthew 27:46
says,
“ And about the ninth hour
Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli Eli, lama sabachthani? That is to
say, My God, my God, why has thou forsaken me?
Worst still, there are times when it seems as if the
whole world is crashing on you; when life beats you down and gets the best of
you, when friends and relatives are nowhere to be found. At such times, prayer
begins to feel empty and God feels distant, almost as if He has forgotten you.
It is very easy at this point to think that you have been deserted by God. If
you ever find yourself in such a situation, be sure to stay closer to the word
of God for constant reminders that God cares and that He is a present help in
times of trouble (Psalm 46:1); He will never abandon you. I pray that whenever
you call upon the Lord in times of trouble, He will answer in Jesus’ Name. No
matter what you are going through, just hold on to Jesus and He will see you
through.
God asked a rhetoric question in Isaiah 49:15b
“Can a woman forget her
sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb?”
We know that it is seemingly impossible for that to
happen, but God says even if it were possible, He will never forget you. You
can rest on His word of promise because our God is dependable. God went on to
say that He has engraved you on to say that He has engraved you on the palms of
His hands; what a promise, what a word! Engravings are permanent inscriptions,
therefore it symbolizes an obsessed lover writing the name of his loved one on
his hands for constant remembrance.
Prayer Point
Father, thank you for
engraving me on the palm of your hand. Thank you for having me in constant
remembrance.
