 God Will Not Forsake Man

A Reflection on Deuteronomy 31:6, Hebrews 13:5, and Isaiah 49:15

God will not forsake man—not the fallen, not the frail,

Not the one who wanders far or whose own strength fails.

Though the mountains may be shaken and the hills removed,

His unfailing love stands firm—it will not be disproved.

“Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet My unfailing love for you will not be shaken.” (Isaiah 54:10)

He will not forsake—when the world walks away,

When friends betray and loved ones cannot stay.

When the silence stretches long and prayers seem lost in air,

His promise echoes through the dark: “I am already there.”

The cross declares it—there, in that forsaken cry,

“My God, why have You forsaken Me?” He asked, “Why?”

He took the abandonment so you would never know

What it means to be forgotten, to be left without a home.

“Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5)

So lift your head, O weary one. The Father does not turn

Away from those who stumble, from the hearts that ache and yearn.

He is the faithful witness, the covenant-keeping God,

Who walks beside His children even when the path is hard.

God will not forsake man—this is His vow, His seal,

His nature, His delight, His everlasting zeal.

Not because we are deserving, but because He is true.

He will not forsake you. He will not forsake you. You are His, through and through.

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. (Deuteronomy 31:6)

Amen.
