I will not forget you. See, I have
[carved] you on the palms of my hands. (Isaiah 49:15,16)
In their
Babylonian captivity, no doubt many Jews wondered if God had given up on them.
Maybe some of them, in their despair, gave up on God. We read in Isaiah 49:14, Zion said, “The Lord has forsaken me,
the Lord has forgotten me.”
But God makes it clear such is
not the case. Can
a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she
has borne? Though she may forget [as unlikely as that is], I will not forget
you. See, I have [carved] you on the palms of my hands (49:15,16).
But God is forgetful about one thing.
I will
forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more (Jeremiah 31:34).
God forgets
your confessed sin, but he'll never forget you!
Have you ever felt
forgotten by God?
