Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! – Isaiah 49:15
I am easily distracted. I shared this with some of you a few weeks ago. It’s the reason I like to sit up front during worship. I am able to listen and focus better on the message when I can’t see other people and their movements. I have recently recognized this as a significant weakness of mine and have begun to actively work on it.
Even as I type this, I heard my Assistant say something on the phone and started looking at something else. Two minutes later, I’m back typing. Go ahead and laugh.
I am so glad God is not distracted from His purposes and plans for our lives. He’s not forgetful either. This verse from Isaiah demonstrates that. We see it again in Matthew 6:28-34. If God cares for the wildflowers and sparrows, He certainly cares for you and me. Need further confirmation? Read Psalm 139. Even when we’d like God to forget, He doesn’t. He knows everything about us and cares deeply for us.
I forgot how I was going to close this, but I think you get the point.
