Devotionals - Five minutes at the pump

Fuel-stop devotionals.

Written to be read in the time it takes to fill two tanks. A new one every day, drawn from a year's worth of readings — scripture, a thought to chew on, and a prayer.

He Will Not Forget YouIsaiah 49:15-16
No. 144
Can a mother forget the baby at her breast? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands.Isaiah 49:15-16

God uses the strongest human bond — a mother and infant — to describe His commitment. And then He goes further: even if she forgets, I won't. Your name is engraved on His hands. Not written in pencil. Engraved.

Reflect

Where in your life have you felt forgotten — by people, by God? Bring that feeling to this verse today.

Prayer

Lord, I receive this: I am engraved on Your hands. You cannot forget me. Help me live from that truth. Amen.
