He Has Not Forgotten You

A couple of weeks ago History channel started a new unique series that got me excited. It is called "the Bible" and it looks at important stories from across the Bible. In the first episode they follow the life of Moses as he frees God's people from Egypt. When Moses first talks to the people about God's plan there was a quote that stood out to me that I think would be good to remember and know but so many of us forget.

"Have you forgotten God? Even if you have, he has not forgotten you." Moses the Bible

I am sure the Israelites felt abandoned after years of slavery but was it because God abandoned them or was it because they abandoned God in their hearts and minds? The amazing thing is if they did abandon God he did not abandon them. He had a plan to free them and he put a plan into place that freed them.

I know that sometimes I forget the most important things. I am so glad I have a calendar or I would forget so many things. The incredible thing is that God never forgets us even when we forget him. He knows exactly where we are at and what is ahead of us. He is never surprised or unsure of what to do next. 

So instead of asking why God has not answered you in your turmoil, begin to ask if you have forgotten him because he has not forgotten you. He has a plan for your life and situation. You have to be willing to be patient enough and trust that God has it under control. 

"And they that know your name will put their trust in you; for you, Lord, have not forsaken them that seek you" Psalms 9:10
