Raising children is tough work. Being a good parent is one of the most selfless acts in life. However it would never occur to me, or to you, to abandon or disregard our children.
Yet there are a few parents who do neglect their children, even infants, and it’s been a problem for thousands of years. Isaiah in the Old Testament asks the question, “For can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb?”
He answers, “Yea, they may forget…”
It’s such a foreign concept that this could happen, yet a quick search of the news shows that in just the last few weeks there are multiple cases of mothers neglecting their infants to the point of starvation and mothers leaving their newborn infants in public places and walking away.
Yet the Redeemer will never do this to us. Per Isaiah, “Yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee, O house of Israel.”
He will be there for us. Always.
