TOPIC: WHO TOLD YOU: God Has Forgotten You?
Memory Verse: Jere. 29:11
“11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
Bible Reading: Is. 49:14-16
“14 But Zion said, “The LORD has forsaken me, And my Lord has forgotten me.”
15 “Can a woman forget her nursing child, And not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, Yet I will not forget you.
16 See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; Your walls are continually before Me.”
God is not a man who keeps in mind our wrongs. He is not human who lacks forgiveness and never shows mercy. God isn’t an instant destructive God, He is full of mercy and compassion always. He doesn’t let go easily as men will do. Many situation that makes men think they are forsaken are mostly training period and a season of discovery which are not from God 100%. That things are not working doesn’t mean God has forsaken you or me, He is still on our side. Most often, we focus on wrong situations without seeing the positive side of things. No one has it all, I say it again, No one has it all, so therefore, God has not forsaken you.
He was speaking to the Israelite through Prophet Isaiah, saying, no matter your wrongs attitude, iniquities and unremorseful ways, I can’t forsake you. God said, we have been inscribed in the palms of His Hand, meaning, nothing can erase us from His sight. You are not forsaken neither are you rejected or forgotten, it’s just for a while and things will fall in place. God doesn’t abandoned the works of His Hand. He knows what you are going through, what you are faced with and He is ready to save you, you just have to give Him the chance to work through you. Allow Him into your life. Surrender to Him in total and He will lead you out of those challenging period. God has not forsaken you. He still care so much about you and I.
Good morning.
