Weekly Practice 10/27/25
Hey, all. You know the drill. Try to do/discuss this week’s practice with others.
Scripture
Here’s a link if you want to read all of Isaiah 49. If you have the time, you should.
Isaiah 49:15-16 ESV
“Can a woman forget her nursing child,
that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb?
Even these may forget,
yet I will not forget you.
Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are continually before me.”
Practice
“Being Marked”
What an image: God, so lovingly committed to his people, carves our names into his hands. We are tattoo-worthy to our Maker. Inconceivable. When Jesus says to pray in his name, he’s inviting us except his mark. “I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you” (John 14:20).
Part of the work Jesus tasks us with is to share him with others. If Jesus Christ is your Lord, you have been marked. Like a full sleeve tattoo, this should be hard to cover up. This week, ask God if there are ways you can “show off your ink.” This might be in what you say. It might also be in the decisions you make, in how you work and play, or in how you treat others. You and me, we’re marked. Let’s not be afraid to let others see.
