I will not forget you!
Back to Daily Bible Readings for the Lord's Household
"Can a woman forget her nursing child, or lack compassion for the child of her womb? Even if these forget—yet I will not forget you!" Isaiah 49:15
We often forget the Lord—this is both our sin and our folly!
As we can never be happy but as we live in the enjoyment of His love—so every sin brings its own punishment with it!
We sometimes suspect that the Lord has forgotten us—but He assures us that this is impossible. He admits that the mother may forget her nursing child, and treat it with neglect; but He denies that He can ever forget His redeemed people. They are too deeply engraved on His hands! His love to them is too strong and active—to allow Him to forget them!
Jesus thinks of US this morning. He is thinking . . .
of the trials we shall have to endure,
of the duties we have to discharge,
of the foes we shall have to face, and
of the grace that will be necessary for us.
Friends may forget us; relations may forget us—but Jesus never will! Nor will He forget or overlook anything that concerns us!
O may I never forget Him!
May He live in my memory,
reign in my affections, and
dwell in my heart by faith.
