I have graven thee upon the palms of My hands. Isaiah 49:16
Zion and its inhabitants seemed convinced that God had forgotten them, and small wonder as the beloved city had been attacked and destroyed so many times. God hastens to reassure His traumatized people that in spite of signs some might interpret differently, He will ever be their shield. The name of the city and those of its people have been graven on the palms of His hands—a place of constant memory. Whatever setback you may have suffered, He will never forget you. You are close to Him and so precious to Him. He never forsakes those whose trust is in Him. —Roy Hill
Channels only, blessed Master, but with all Thy wondrous power,
Flowing through us, Thou canst use us, every day and every hour. —Mary E. Maxwell
