Isaiah 49:14-16
14But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me.
15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.
16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.
Sometimes when things fall apart in our life, we feel that God has forgotten us. It is during these times that we have to remember, that God is carrying us in His arms. He has not forgotten us, He is just holding us when we are too weak to stand. Just when we look around, God shows us His power. He shows us in our most desperate times, that He is with us. When friends, family, and the rest of the world have given up on us, God has not forgotten us. He will be there in our darkest hour, even though some times we don't realize it. He is beside us every step that we make in life. Just like the footprints in the sand poem, He carried us when we could no longer make it. So when we notice just one set of footprints, let us remember, that God has carried us that last mile. Just like stated in these verses, a mother can forget her child. But we are God's children, and He will never forsake us. So when the world seems against us, remember God is for us. No matter what goes on in our life, God is always faithful and true. He will always be there for me and you. When times get tough, He will make a way to bring us through it all.
Father, I know that You have not forgotten me
You sent Jesus Christ, to set this sinner free
I know that You will forget us not
You are with us when we are on the spot
You will embrace us in the worst of times
You will be with us, when everything is fine
No matter what we may face each day
Lord, You are truly with us all the way
Father, when we see only one set of prints
We will know that in Your arms that time was spent
That You carried us when we could no longer stand
That You led us and took us by the hand
That You showed us the way we needed to go
You have not forgotten us, You love us so
