Text: Isaiah 49:14-16
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
Mothers are very caring of their babies but in some situations a mother can forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne; if you doubt it read 2 Kings 6:28-29.
God says, the compassion and care He has for you are more than those of a mother-to-child. He has promised neither to fail nor forget you. You are engraved on the palms of my hands; so He remembers you always. His thoughts towards you are thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end if you make Him your hope and your future- Jeremiah 29:11-12.
Trials are meant to toughen your spiritual muscles of faith, hope and love; not to destroy you.
Therefore, reciprocate your love by dedicating your heart to Him. While you are waiting on Him to fulfill His promises, remain steadfast. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain- 1 Corinthians 15:58.
You are beloved of God; so keep your trust alive in Him.
Prayer Nugget: Thank you Father for your love and care for me. Help my trust in you in Jesus name.
