“I Will Not Forget You”

But Zion said, “The Lord has forsaken me, the Lord has forgotten me.”

“Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on 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.

Isaiah 49:14-16

They say the best among is remembered for 100 years or so. The rest of us are soon forgotten. The memory of past generations, like our markers, soon fades away. Yet our legacy has been passed on through the family of God. How we’ve loved God and others in our lifetime lives on.

Paul said of David that he “served God’s purpose in his own generation” and departed. Like him, may we love the Lord and serve Him in our generation and leaves the remembering to Him. “They will be Mine,” says the Lord.

Living for the Lord leaves a lasting legacy.
