Engraved

Isa. 49:16  See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands...

Engraving is the process of cutting or incising, usually letters, into a surface so as to create a permanent, unchangeable reminder.  Think of the many things that we engrave.  Jewelry, plaques, even the headstones that fill our cemeteries.  Our intention is that a person, an event or other important information is not forgotten.  Even the Ten Commandments were cut by God into tablets of stone.

I am engraved (inscribed) on God's hands.  YOU are engraved on God's hands.  What an amazing thought!  He can not and will not forget us.  We are so important to Him and so loved by Him that He forever remembers us.  He has established a permanent and unchangeable reminder, an engraving that is ever before Him.  He can't and won't stop thinking about you and me.

We have the constant attention of the God of all creation!  Think about that for a while.
