Never Alone
Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken. (Isaiah 62:4)
“Forsaken” is a dreary word. It sounds like a knell. It is the record of the sharpest sorrows and the
prophecy of direst ills. An abyss of misery yawns in that word forsaken. Forsaken by one who pledges
his honor! Forsaken by a friend so long tried and trusted! Forsaken by a dear relative! Forsaken by
father and mother! Forsaken by all! This is woe indeed, and yet it may be patiently born if the Lord will
take us up.
But what must it be to feel forsaken of God? Think of that bitterest of cries, “My God, my God, why
hast thou forsaken me?” Have we ever in any degree tasted the wormwood and the gall of “forsaken”
in that sense? If so, let us beseech our Lord to save us from any repetition of so unspeakable a
sorrow. Oh, that such darkness may never return! Men in malice said of a saint, “God hath forsaken
him; persecute and take him.” But it was always false. The Lord’s loving favor shall compel our cruel
foes to eat their own words or, at least, to hold their tongues.
The reverse of all this is that superlative word Hephzibah “the Lord delighteth in thee.” This turns
weeping into dancing. Let those who dreamed that they were forsaken hear the Lord say, “I will never
leave thee nor forsake thee.”
