This unusual question reveals a marvelous side of God that few understand. Of course a nursing mother cannot forget her child. But the analogy is about the love and character of Yehovah God. The obvious reason a mother can’t forget her nursing child is because the mother’s body is producing milk that must be released from her body to the baby. We must grasp the fact that there is something internal with God Himself that must be released in action benefiting Israel.
But Zion said, “Yehovah has forsaken me, and my Lord has forgotten me.” “Can a woman forget her nursing child, and not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, Yet I will not forget you. See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; your walls are continually before Me.” Isaiah 49:14-16
That is what I love about God. Deep within His own being, He will not forget Zion. Even if a mother forgets her child, He will never forget Israel. This glorious truth is now on display in the supernatural restoration, blessing, and favor of modern Israel. Yet, there is still more revealed in this passage. When He refers to inscribing them on the palms of His hands, He refers to Jesus hanging on the cross. And then we learn that the Messiah is not only for Israel’s salvation, but also for all the world to every one who will receive Him.
I must confess that I always felt my love for Him was somehow lacking. I believed but something was missing. When I read this Isaiah quote this week I was moved to tears. God loves us so much He can’t help Himself. He is faithful because He cannot deny Himself, He is inherently love in His true most basic essence. Therefore, He is faithful, unchanging, dependable, and totally trustworthy. I love that about Him! My love for Him keeps deepening and expanding with each new revelation. It is beyond what He does, beyond what He says, it is Who He is!
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, victory over her enemies, and rain in this rainy season.
