We are Christians and we are human too, and as human who still reside on earth, we love to have life all figured and all mapped out, but when life isn’t going as we want it to go, we are quick to judge that God has forgotten us as that can be the only reason why we are experiencing this or that.

What happened in the book of Judges chapter 6 so relates with the modern believer who thinks he has been forgotten by God. 

When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon and was calling him a man of valor and stating that the Lord is with him, Gideon was quick to disagree that the Lord was with him or even with his people (the children of Israel), because according to his human mind (and ours), there are things that shouldn’t happen to you if the Lord is still with you and if you are in his remembrance book.

But, it is not  so, God is EVER mindful of his children irrespective of their current reality.

So if you think God has forgotten, these are three thoughts I’d like you to remember;

 

1.       1. You Are His Child

This is one thing that happens when we decide to believe in the only begotten son of God which is Christ. 

God accepts us into his kingdom and then make us his children.

As children of this great God, just like parent in the natural love their children, how much more this God who created you, wouldn’t he even lavish you with so many blessings than even the earthly parents.

Romans 8:32 says "He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?"

God didn't spare his own son, he gave Christ up that you might have access to him, he'll give you all things too.

You are his child. He wants the best for you. Never forget this.

 

2.       2. He Can Never Forget You

g    God can't forget you.

       He can't.

       He won't.

      This is one scripture that always always thrills me.

Yet Jerusalem says, “The LORD has deserted us; the Lord has forgotten us. “Never! Can a mother forget her nursing child? Can she feel no love for the child she has borne? But even if that were possible, I would not forget you!      Isiah 49:14-15 NLT

Let this bring comfort to your heart.

It's almost impossible for a mother to forget her child. A mother's love is strong. And even if a mother's love fails, God is saying his own love won't fail, and he would not forget you.

I know how bad it feels to see people move past you and you just seem to be on a spot, and then you feel you have been forgotten by God. It's not possible, God can Never Forget You.

Your answer is on the way.

 

3.       3. God Is Always Working Behind The Scenes

We have a God who has our best interest at heart all the time, and while we want things to come quickly, then when what we want are not quick in coming, we are quick to dismiss that God isn’t working then since we can’t see it.

But then, If only you can the things God is doing on your behalf at the backend, you will be filled with so much joy.

God is Always Always working behind the scene.

The book of Esther is one story that brings this point home.

How can a woman disrespects her husband, then another young girl becomes the bride of the king, then a man hates the guts of a whole tribe and starts planning death of the tribe, and he gets invited to a banquet with the king and his queen, he gets into the garden, has his fill, on his way home, he sees one of the men from the tribe and then decides he wants that man killed before the date for the death of the tribe comes.

He proposed to go to request for the permission to hang the man the next day, he sleeps knowing that his enemy was certainly going to die the next day, but THAT SAME NIGHT, the king looses his sleep, the records were brought out, he saw the name of the man who had saved the king from been assassinated and then decides to honor him, only that the same man he wants to honor is the same man another man wants to kill…

You know the the turn out of the events of this story, and if you don’t, pick on to your bible and read the book of Esther.

Sometimes back, I watched a faith-based fil on YouTube that further strengthened my faith about how God is always walking at the back end even when it is not obvious.

Here is the link to the video: Man At The Back End

God is always working at the back end.

Even when we don’t see it.

He hasn’t forgotten you, He can’t forget you.

Your moment will come.

Your answer is on the way.

There is so much light!
