GOD HAS NOT FORGOTTEN YOU

"Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee." (Isaiah 49:15). Have you dwelt in that situation for so long that you now wonder whether God still knows you exist. The children of Israel where in the same situation. They had so gone into idolatry that God abandoned them in the hands of their enemy. This lets you know that most times, what leaves believers in the state of Divine abandonment is their sins. “Behold, the LORD' hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.” (Isaiah 59:1-2). Sin is the separator. It is not in the nature of God to abandon His children. As impossible as it is for a nursing mother to forget her suckling child, that’s how it is with God and us.

However, there are few exceptions when you are not walking in sin to the best of your ability but things still are not working in your favour. In this case, it is either that God wants you to learn to trust Him or to build you up or that the enemies are on your case. It is up to you to discover which one it is and do what you need to do. It is not a time to run from God and say God has failed you. No! It is a time to draw closer to God. When you read further down our opening scripture, you see the blessings that follow you when you hold on to God in spite of the current circumstance.“Thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up mine hand…And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers…Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.” (Vs 22-25). Don’t give up! God has not forgotten you!
