Not Forgotten

"Thou art My servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of Me" (Isaiah
44:21).

Our Jehovah cannot so forget His servants as to cease to love them. He chose
them not for a time but forever. He knew what they would be when He called them
into the divine family. He blots out their sins like a cloud; and we may be
sure that He will not turn them out of doors for iniquities which He has
blotted out. It would be blasphemy to imagine such a thing. He will not forget
them so as to cease to think of them. One forgetful moment on the part of our
God would be our ruin. Therefore He says, "Thou shalt not be forgotten of me,"
Men forget us; those whom we have benefited turn against us. We have no abiding
place in the fickle hearts of men; but God will never forget one of His true
servants. He binds Himself to us not by what we do for Him but by what He has
done for us. We have been loved too long and bought at too great a price to be
now forgotten. Jesus sees in us His soul's travail, and that He never can
forget. The Father sees in us the spouse of His Son, and the Spirit sees in us
His own effectual work. The LORD thinketh upon us. This day we shall be
succored and sustained. Oh, that the LORD may never be forgotten of us!

621 L.M. W. GADSBY
"The carnal mind is enmity against God." Rom. 8. 7

1 The carnal mind takes different ways, And different objects she surveys;
She's pleased with things that suit her taste, But hates the God of truth and
grace.

2 No beauty in the Lord she views,
Nor is she charmed with gospel-news; She sets at nought, with vain contempt,
The Man the Lord Jehovah sent.

3 She hates him as the mighty God,
The church's Wisdom, Life, and Head; His priestly office she disdains,
And wantons with his wounds and pains.

4 Whatever office Jesus bears,
Or in what glorious form appears,
She was, and is, and still will be
Against him dreadful enmity.

5 [Is this the case? Yes, Lord, 'tis true; And I've a carnal nature too,
That fights, with all its hellish might, Against the God of my delight.

6 Yet, bless the Lord, through grace I feel I have a mind that loves him well;
Nor shall the dreadful power of sin, My better part from Jesus win.]

7 [May grace not only live and reign, But may its powers be felt and seen; Dear
God, my every foe subdue,
And make me more than conqueror too.]
