God's Tatoo

Some cultures encourage tattoos. Many have tribal significance. Other cultures may accept tattoos as simply a pretty decoration. Some use tattoos to make a personal statement. Some cultures frown upon tattoos that are openly visible for all to see.

What is interesting is that God says He had a "tattoo."


The Israelites thought God had forgotten them. Isaiah 49:14
But God says he has not forgotten them. Isaiah 49:15, 16

God doesn't have have physical hands. He uses symbolism to make the point that he does not forget his people.

God had the name of his people written on his palms. Most tattoos are on the side of the arms, on the back, or legs - covered by clothing. But clothing rarely covers the hands. Palms are constantly visible. Whatever is on the palm is a constant reminder.

Is your name written on God's palms?

Or better yet, where have you written God in your life?
