Key verse: Isaiah 49:15
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.
Read: Genesis 25:21-28
The greatest bond ever in life is that between the mother and her child. It seems almost unbreakable. That is why, almost invariably, every child loves the mother more than the father. As true as this may sound however, at a time in Lagos Nigeria, there was a popular slogan that says when interpreted “in Lagos, there is no mom for the insane”. This suggests that if a person be found with insanity, even the mom will denounce him. How true. Rebekah was the one that had Esau before Jacob came albeit from the same womb on the same day. However, for no reasonable cause, she preferred the younger and with time, sacrificed the elder for the younger.
No matter your relationship with any mortal being, that being may forsake you but God can never forsake you. They also say in some clime that when you are torched and your son is torched, you take care of yourself first. God is different. When the three Hebrew boys were thrown into hot fire, He jumped in it with them and His presence guaranteed their safety. A woman can truly forgo her suckling child like some have dumped theirs in garbage cans after birth but God just has your back all the way. In that your situation that appears somewhat, God is the one watching over you and not letting it overwhelm you. The whole world had caused the Lord to cause a flood to destroy the creatures and Noah was locked up in an Ark, yet God remembered Noah. When it appeared that Rachael was going without a child, God remembered her. Obed’edom was damned to nothingness but God visited him. Daniel was thrown in the den but God did not leave him alone.
No matter what you are going through, God is faithful to see you through. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. What He has done before, He can do again repeatedly. Rest assured, God is on your matter. He has promised never to forget you. He will not forget you if you are His. Your surest guarantee is in being connected to God. If Daniel was not, he would have ended up in the belly of lions. His friends, if they were not, would have become ashes. You too can be the next big miracle. Join the Lord’s vehicle.
Pray: Father, I know you love me and will always be there for me. Help me to stand in your love so as not to depart from your reach in Jesus name.
