—Isaiah 49:1-17
by: Ashea West.
How awesome it is that God thinks of us as His children! Not only that, but He wants to display His splendor in us (v.3); He has compassion on us (v.10); and He will not forget us (v.15). Isaiah makes the comparison with a mother who cannot forget her own child and who will always have compassion on them because of the connection both mother and child have. When a mother carries a child for months inside her, there is a connection that develops that is hard to break. God makes this comparison to remind us that His connection to us is much stronger than that of a mother and child. What an awesome reminder that through it all, God will never forget us!
