You Have Not Forgotten Us

We all have a tendency to forget things sometimes: details, dates, keys, groceries and so on. It’s a part of our imperfect human nature. We’ve all forgotten something – large or small – at some point in our lives.

At times I wonder if we take some of the traits and imperfections we are capable of and project those same characteristics upon a perfect and Holy God. It’s easy to feel like God has forgotten about us in our time of need and I’m sure we’ve all felt that way at times. The truth is that even when God seems quiet or absent, He has promised to never leave our side. He has never forgotten us, not even for a moment.

God’s word reminds us that even though sometimes we feel deserted, God never forgets us. Instead His word says we are engraved on the palms of His hands.
