"HE HEARS..."
I have had my share of struggles especially in my faith walk. There has been times i felt like God was not listening to me or maybe he has forgotten me. And its so amazing how God uses situation and circumstances to speak to us.Isaiah 49 v 14: "But Zion said the Lord has forsaken me, the Lord has forgotten me".
Remember Zion is the place of the Lord's dwelling, (Psalm 9 v 11: "Sing praises to the Lord who dwells in Zion", Psalm 132 v 13: "For the Lord has chosen Zion, he desired it for his habitation") so i try to imagine the situation in Isaiah 49 v 14, a situation that seems like The Lord had forsaken Zion.
And yes, i identify with this passage a lot, as i have asked the same questions and felt the same way.
So here i was after a long day's work, so tired and in need of a good night rest. In the middle of a good deep sleep, i heard my son in another room call me in the middle of the the night and i remember waking up to the sound of a soft voice calling "mummy". The moment i woke up, i heard him again calling "mummy" and just at that same moment i heard a voice in my spirit tell me;
"Todun, if you can hear that from a deep sleep, I can hear you". And i broke down in tears as i walked to the other room in response to my son's call.
The Lord responded to Zion in Isaiah 49 v 15-16: "Can a mother forget the baby at her breast? and have no compassion for the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you. See, i have engraved you on the palms of my hands, your walls are ever before me".
I get tired, but God doesn't get tired.
I sleep, He never sleeps nor slumber.
I forget, He never forgets.
I am not forgotten, You are not forgotten.
God sure hears...
Yours in the walk...
