Dear Friend,

God has an image of you and me in the palms of His hands. I truly believe that if God had a refrigerator in heaven, He’d have your picture on it!

See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands.
Isaiah 49:16a (NIV)

Sometimes we see God as being far off, but we are as close to Him as the palms of His hands. If you’ve accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, you belong to God! Do not fear what people can do to you or to those you love. You are precious to God.  He has your back, your front, and all your sides.

Will you remain in constant dread of human oppressors? Will you continue to fear the anger of your enemies?
Where is their fury and anger now?
It is gone!
Isaiah 51:13b (NLT)

I want to encourage you this week to not stress out, but have faith that God is with us. No, we are not in control, but we can trust God who holds the future. We can trust God who holds us in the palms of His hands.

 

Believe God—it will be just as He said!
