Isaiah gives us a touching image of God's love for God's people. Many Israelites felt like God had abandoned them. Isaiah lets the people know that there's no way God could ever forget God's people. That's a promise we can hold onto today as well. God loves us more than we can imagine; be not afraid.
God bless,
Sam
Isaiah 49:13-18
13Sing for joy, O heavens, and exult, O earth; break forth, O mountains, into singing!
For the LORD has comforted his people, and will have compassion on his suffering ones.
For the LORD has comforted his people, and will have compassion on his suffering ones.
14But Zion said, "The LORD has forsaken me, my Lord has forgotten me."
15Can a woman forget her nursing child,
15Can a woman forget her nursing child,
or show no compassion for the child of her womb?
Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you.
16See, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me.
17Your builders outdo your destroyers, and those who laid you waste go away from you.
18Lift up your eyes all around and see; they all gather, they come to you.
As I live, says the LORD, you shall put all of them on like an ornament, and like a bride you shall bind them on.
Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you.
16See, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me.
17Your builders outdo your destroyers, and those who laid you waste go away from you.
18Lift up your eyes all around and see; they all gather, they come to you.
As I live, says the LORD, you shall put all of them on like an ornament, and like a bride you shall bind them on.
