信心的支票簿 Faith's check book 不忘記你 經文: 「以色列啊，你是我的僕人，我造就你必不忘記你。」（以賽亞書四十四︰21） 耶和華上帝絕不會忘記祂的僕人，也不會停止愛他們。上帝揀選我們是永遠的，不是暫時的。祂呼召我們成為上帝家的兒女時，祂已知道我們的本相。祂寶血洗淨我們的罪，使我們白如雪；祂不會因我們過去的罪行，將我們逐出救恩之門，若沒這樣的想法，實在辜負了上帝。 上帝不會忘記我們，祂總是惦記著我們，若上帝有一刻忘記我們，我們就慘了。所以祂說︰「我不會忘記你們的。」人會忘恩負義，甚至恩將仇報；但上帝絕對紀念祂忠心的僕人，祂繫念我們，不是因為我們為祂做了什麼，乃是因為我們是祂用寶血重價買贖回來的，祂怎能把我們忘記？耶穌把我們看作是祂靈魂的延伸，天父看我們是祂兒子的延續，聖靈把我們看作祂工作的成果。因此，上帝焉能忘記我們﹖弟兄姐妹們，上帝永遠看顧、保守我們，有如保護祂眼中的瞳仁！ Not Forgotten Scripture: "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! www.glorypress.com
