DOES THE LORD FORSAKE HIS CHILDREN?

 Does the LORD Forsake His Children? 

 “For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.” Isaiah 54:7 (KJV)

In the Old Testament or Covenant, it was possible for God to forsake His children for a brief period of time. He forsook them when they sinned against Him, after He had on countless occasions warned them to desist from sins (Daniel 1:1-2). He hates the sin of spiritual adultery—the sin of serving other gods in addition to Him. He is a Jealous God (Exodus 34:14). On the other hand, in the New Testament or Covenant it is not possible for the LORD to forsake His children (Hebrews 13:5). This is the dispensation of grace where He has decided not to leave or forsake His children, simply because His great mercies in the dispensation of grace are much more than the dispensation of the Law and the Prophets. This, however, does not give us the freedom or liberty to commit the sin of adultery in our worship but rather use our liberty to please and work zealously for Him. Hallelujah! Dear beloved, are you serving other gods in addition to Elohim? Anything that takes the first place of God in our lives is an idol; it could be a cell phone, money, pleasure, spouse, job, etc. Thus, we shouldn’t allow anything to take away our commitment, devotion, and attention from God. Beloved, let’s take advantage of God’s great mercies to please Him, enhance our intimate relationship with Him, and be blessed. Hallelujah! Be an overcomer!

Prayer Point: Dear heavenly Father, I’m delighted to hear that You cannot leave me nor forsake me. I take advantage of this privilege to always give You the first place in my life. Please help me please You and have a deeper intimacy with You and be a blessing to many lives in Jesus’ name. Amen!
