MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL
Devotion for Friday March 6, 2020
Topic: As
Constant Reminders
Text: Isaiah 49:13 – 17
I
learnt from my mentor, Robin Sharma to write inspiring quotations and paste
them on conspicuous position so that my eyes can easily go there as to read it
often and again. According to him, it will be a kind of reminder which will
motivate me to apply the message to life. This is exactly what God means here
in our memory verse for the day.
Our
text started with words of encouragement (v13) that comfort has come for Israel
because they thought that God had forsaken them in Babylon; but Isaiah pointed
out that God would never forget them, as a loving mother would not forget her
little child.
Are
you in despair, discouraged, feeling lonely or abandoned? God is saying that
your comfort has come. That you may be suffering today doesn’t mean that all
hope is lost. Why complain (v14)? God went ahead to give the Israelites the
assurance that He has not forgotten them (v15 – 17). He did so by inscribing or
engraving them on His palms so as to be a reminder to Him about their welfare,
comfort, blessings, protection, etc.
Are
you in doubt about God’s concern for your welfare and blessings? Are you
questioning God’s faithfulness to His promises concerning you? God says that He
has not forgotten you. When we feel that God has forsaken us, we must ask if we
are the ones that have forsaken and forgotten God (Deut. 31:6). He doesn’t
forsake His people.
Action:
Write down what can keep you continuously in the palms of God and paste in on a
conspicuous position in your room so you will be doing them always.
Memory verse: Isaiah 49:16
Prayer: My
Father in heaven, keep me continuously your palm so that you will always
remember my blessings and welfare in Jesus name.
