There is always a push and shove when you ask a group to line up. The boys (and often girls) have to hit the top of the doorframe as they enter or exit a room.

Isaiah 49:16 reminds me of my kids’ “tattoos.” It says God has engraved you onto the palm of his hands.

Your hands are a place you will notice regularly and, in this analogy, God sees us in his palm regularly. We are in the forefront of his thoughts.

The idea that Almighty God “sees” me and concerns himself with me when there are billions of people on the earth is amazing. He sees you too.
