Topic : You Will Never Be Alone!
Text : Isaiah 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. Amen
More often than not, when Christian sufferings become unbearable, we tend to query the presence of God in our lives. Questions such as “Why me, or why has the Lord forsaken me” become our anthem.
Well to all those singing such songs there’s great news for you. The omniscient God whispers to you this morning; “I have not, and will not forget you” Halleluyah! This is not a religious jargon, it is the TRUTH. His love for us is stronger than parental love and deeper than we can imagine (Isaiah 49: 15). How can He forget us?
He MADE us and has engraved our names in His palms. It is impossible for Him to forget anything about us; not our names, or our pain. He never forgets your sacrifices, as He doesn’t your prayer. Why will he forget your obedience, or pretend not to remember your repented heart for His use?
Dearly Beloved, our God sees each tear and He understands better than a mother understands the tears of a crying baby. So the next time you feel all alone in this world, know that YOU ARE NEVER REALLY ALONE; The mighty God of Israel abides with you through the storm and the dark nights. He is the dependable that never puts to shame.
His word says; “Instead of shame, you will receive double honour, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance. And so you will inherit a double portion in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours.” (Isaiah 61: 7)
Begin to pray now. Pray the depression, anxiety, sorrow and confusion away. For how can the boat where lies the Master of the seas, the waves and the winds SINK? You Will Never Drown In Life!
