Mum's are very
special. They have so many things to do
to organize all that their children need, these days often helped very much by
Dad. When there is a new baby in the house everything revolves around it. This is the sort of mother looking after her
baby's every need that God spoke of in our Bible reading from Isaiah. He said
that mother's do not usually forget their babies, but even if they did He God
would not forget His children. The Bible
is a wonderful book. Back in the time of the prophet Isaiah who wrote these
words down, the children of Israel, God's people were going through a very
difficult time in their life. They had
been taken captive and taken away from their own country and made to live in
another country where they had to obey a foreign people. We see this in the following verses.
49:14 “Zion said,
‘The Lord has abandoned me,
the sovereign
master has forgotten me.’
49:15 Can a woman
forget her baby who nurses at her breast?
Can she withhold
compassion from the child she has borne?
Even if mothers
were to forget,
I could never
forget you!
When life gets
difficult we can think God has forgotten us, but if we are His children He will
never desert us. In the New Testament we read these words.
“I will never leave
you and I will never abandon you. So we can say with confidence, “The
Lord is my helper, and I will not be afraid. What can man ho to me?" Hebrews 13 verses 4-6
So from both the
Old and New testament we find that God promises not to forget us and never to
leave us.
