Which is the bigger wonder? Gods' faithfulness or our unbelief?
Yet as we read Isiaah we see He says -
Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands. — Isaiah 49:16
. “I have graven thee.” It does not say, “your name.” The name is there, but that is not all: our person, our image, our case, our circumstances, our sins, our temptations, our weaknesses, our wants, our works; He has graven us, everything about us, all that concerns us.
With this understanding will we ever say again that our God has forsaken us or forgotten us, when he has "graven" us upon his own palms?
He keeps his promise a thousand times, and yet the next trial makes us doubt him.
We are as continually vexed with anxieties, molested with suspicions, and disturbed with fears, as if our God were the mirage of the desert.
