ISAIAH 49:15-16A, 25-26 (2025)

 ISAIAH 49:15-16A, 25-26

15 Can a woman forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child of her womb? Yet though she forget, I will never forget you. 

16 See, I have written your name upon the palm of my hands;
25 Yes, captives will be taken from warriors and booty rescued from a tyrant: for I will fight whoever fights you and I will save your children.
26 I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh and be drunk with their own blood, as with wine. All peoples will know that I, the Lord, am your savior, your redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

---- mine,

While it is true that in almost every instance, there is no more tender love than the love of a mother for the baby in her womb or nursing at her breast, yet if, in some extraordinary circumstances, it so happens that she does forget, I will never forget you. Look at the scars on My Hands, they spell your name. You are always before Me. I make unceasing intercession for you and for those close to your heart before My Father in heaven. I have appointed angels to protect each of you and to guard you in all your ways. Do not be afraid ---- my own no one has the power to snatch from Me what My Father has given to Me. I will fight for you and those you love. I will ensure that not a hair of your head or theirs will be harmed. The enemies arrayed against your children I will scatter to the four winds, and they will never return to hurt or oppress them. Your children will feed once again on My own Flesh, and they will be nourished, strengthened, and renewed, and they will soar once more on eagles' wings and prostrate before Me in worship, thanksgiving, adoration, and praise as they did when they were young. They will remember never to forget again that I AM their Lord, their Savior, their Redeemer, and their Brother.
