Isaiah 49:15

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Isaiah 49:15. Can a woman forget the sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yea, they may forget, yet I will not forget thee.

The child is in a condition in which it reminds the mother of itself; her sucking child, her own child. Can she forget it? It is not according to nature, -

"’Yet,’ saith the Lord, ‘should nature change,

And mothers monsters prove,

Zion still dwells upon the heart Of everlasting love.’"

What is true of God’s Church as a whole, is true of every member of it. If any of you think that God has passed over you, one of his believing children, you think what is untrue. He cannot do it. It would be contrary to his nature. As long as he is God, he must remember his people.
