DAY 1 OF 5

Am I Forgotten?

Years ago, I met a young woman named Holly. Her family of five had been displaced from their home after a flood destroyed it and all their earthly possessions. Having moved from hotel to hotel, and then eventually being taken in by a kind family, they had been living a nomadic life, and it was wearing on Holly and her family.

When I asked her what the biggest need of her heart was, she immediately said, “I feel forgotten.” Did God see her family situation? And if He did, why did she feel so abandoned?

The truth is, we all feel lost at times. And that’s why the first of five questions we will look at in this devotional is “Am I forgotten?”

The answer in Scripture is plain. From the Old Testament to the New Testament, we find this message of God in the character of His consistency: I will never forget you. I am always with you.

In Deuteronomy 31, Moses speaks directly to his successor, Joshua, as all of Israel looks on. Moses memorably says, “It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed” (verse 8).

In Matthew 28, we find Jesus, soon to ascend to heaven, giving this comfort: “Be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (verse 20b).

No, you aren’t unseen or forgotten. You haven’t slipped through the cracks. If you ever think this, please consider what Colossians says about Jesus: “He is before all things, and in him all things hold together” (1:17). You are one of the “all things.”

You were wanted, planned, and created, and you are being sustained every day by a God who knows you.

Have you ever wondered where God is? What was your conclusion, or what are you still wrestling with?
