“I WILL NOT FORGET YOU!”

 Isaiah 49:14-16                 (ESV)

    “[14] But Zion said, “THE LORD HAS FORSAKEN ME;

        my LORD HAS FORGOTTEN ME.

     [15] “Can a woman forget her nursing child,

        that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb?

    Even these may forget,

        yet “I WILL NOT FORGET YOU”. 

    [16] Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of MY HANDS;

        your walls are CONTINUALLY BEFORE ME.”

There are numerous times in my life where I feel as though I am ALL ALONE!!  There “appears to be” NO ONE helping me with the troubles that I face!  I feel as though I don’t have anyone helping me with an answer to the situation that I have fought so hard to get through.  

A “perfect” example of how I managed to “get myself” through the most difficult situation I have ever experienced is the Brain Hemorrhage of 2007.  GOD placed me in an induced coma for seventeen days where I had NO ABILITY to do anything (including breathing) ON MY OWN!!!  It was ONLY THEN that HE could GET THE GLORY without my intervention and sharing HIS GLORY!!!

There is a saying that quotes “Those who leave everything in GOD’S HANDS will eventually see GOD’S HANDS in everything”!  When the ALMIGHTY is the ONLY PERSON WHO is ABLE to KEEP us, it is usually THEN  that HE WILL DO A MIRACLE!!!  Many times I have shared what my doctor wrote in my medical records on September 25, 2007, “However, he has had a remarkable recovery that could ONLY BE DEFINED AS A MIRACLE FROM GOD”!!!

Seeing the WORDS “I WILL NOT FORGET YOU” spoken by THE LORD to Isaiah is something that I HAVE TO BE REMINDED OF, even after what HE HAS BROUGHT me through!  No matter how bleak and hopeless my situation becomes, I have to be reminded that “I WILL NOT FORGET YOU” is a PROMISE that I must ALWAYS REMEMBER!!!
