DAILY READINGS: 2 Samuel 8:1-9:13; Habakkuk 1:1-17; Romans 14:19-15:13

Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands. Isaiah 49:16

As the Lord Jesus came and stood before the disciples they were terrified. To allay those fears He showed them His hands and His feet. Thomas saw those nail prints in the hands of the Saviour and cried out, “My Lord and my God” (John 20:28). One day soon we too will view those nail pierced hands and kneel in wonder at His feet. —Janet Fleming

His hands still today bear those nail prints,
Received when He suffered for sin;
But there is another great wonder,
A wonder I can’t understand,
The Maker of earth and of heaven,
Has graven my name on His hands. —Janet Fleming
