In good times and in bad times, you are never forsaken by God.
Forsaken means to leave, abandon, walk away, leave alone. It implies the person forsaken may be without help or protection.
During our lives there are times when we may feel forsaken. Forsaken by the people we love the most, family, friends, church, work, community, and society. Which can cause us to wonder, am I forsaken by God? If I am not loved by the best people I know, how can God love me?
Because God’s ways are higher than our ways. God’s goodness is exceedingly greater than any goodness known on earth. God is only good, and all goodness emulates from God.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways,
and my thoughts than your thoughts. – Isaiah 55:9
He has created you. He has called you. He knows your name. God has purpose for you. Yes, even in your weakness. Yes, even in your pain. Yes, even in your circumstances.
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
2 Corinthians 4:7-9
9 The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee:
for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. – Psalms 9:10
Take courage today. God will never forsake you.
