God’s Word, particularly in Isaiah 49, confirms that we are engraved on His hands and He continually sees us.
The assurance that God has not forgotten His people is vividly illustrated in Isaiah 49:14-16. God explicitly states that no matter how dire circumstances may seem, His people are engraved upon His palms. This metaphor indicates an intimate relationship where God is constantly aware of our plight. Even when individuals may feel abandoned or forsaken due to trials and suffering, the Scripture emphasizes that God is ever-present, interceding for His people. Furthermore, knowing that Christ bears the marks of the crucifixion in heaven serves as an ongoing reminder of His sacrifice and love. It reinforces the truth that our identities are secure in Him, regardless of our current feelings or situations.
