ISAIAH 49:14-16
14 But Zion said: 'The LORD hath forsaken me, and the Lord hath forgotten me.'
{Zion is the city of David, where its inhabitants awaited their Redeemer/Messiah}
15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yea, these may forget, yet will not I forget thee.
{We, as people, tend to forget rather quickly...as time passes}
Now pay careful attention to this next verse
[again Isaiah is from the Hebrew Scriptures...a.k.a The Old Testament].
This is the LORD speaking:
16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of MY hands; thy walls are continually before ME.
The Hebrew word for "graven" literally means to CUT IN ! WOW !
The LORD has not forgotten you...HE has a continual reminder...our mediator JESUS!
WE [believers, those awaiting HIS return] are cut into HIS palms, and our "safety" is continually on HIS mind.
Just as Zion awaited their Messiah, so we too now await the return of our KING!
May HIS love for you compel you to seek HIM more intimately today!
~Blessings be upon you!
