Isaiah 49:16 NIV
See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me.
Devotion
God has your name and face engraved in the palm of His hands. He will never forget you. Your life and destiny are always before Him. He knows your potential, and He is waiting for you to discover it by seeking His guidance. Go out and share His message with others, and step boldly into your future. Don't let disappointments or addictions hinder your path. Remember that God has a plan and a purpose for you, and you should wholeheartedly embrace it. The devil may try to thwart your success by placing obstacles in your way, but keep your focus on God, and He will guide you through it all. He knew what you would become even before you were born.
What is holding you back from reaching your full potential today? What are you willing to sacrifice to reach it?
Today’s Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father,
I thank You for Jesus who bears the holes in his hands because of my sin. I confess I am often slack in taking up my own cross to follow Jesus. Help me be more and more like Jesus. Show me who needs to be engraved on the palms of my hands. Help me to have Your heart for the lost. Give me Your word to speak to the lost, Lord God. Let it be in my heart like a fire. If I try and not speak in Your name, let it be a fire shut up in my bones so that I grow weary of holding it and cannot help but speak. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen
