Isaiah 10:28-32 – Forgotten But Not Forgotten
Don’t try to pronounce these places – Aiath, Migron, Michmash, Gallim, Laishah, Anathoth, Madmenah, and others. Not only are the pronunciations forgotten, so are these places. In fact, they are so forgotten that not a single name is recognized by my spellchecker! History has forgotten…though inspiration has not – Isaiah 10. People and places are so easily forgotten.
I wonder…do we realize how easily forgotten most of us are going to be? True, close relatives might remember us for maybe three generations; but the fourth and fifth generations might never hear our names. Can you name your great-great grandmother? I can’t. True again, we might be remembered for some magnificent invention – everyone knows of Thomas Edison. But remembering and daily appreciating are two different things.
I wonder…do we realize that the reason I know those names mentioned above is simply because God mentions them? God remembers all, and whether or not that God knows us is all that matters: Revelation 3:5 – ‘He who overcomes will thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.
I wonder…do we realize that?
