God Has Not Forgotten
Have you ever waited for something from someone that was promised to you but still have not received? The Israelites had waited over 400 years for God to keep His promise to them. Jesus promised His disciples He would return “soon.” We have been waiting with them now for over 2,000 years. It is tempting at such times to think God has forgotten about the promises He has given to us.
Friends, God has not forgotten us. He did not forget the Israelites and sent them the promised Messiah. God remembers every promise that He has made to us. That does not mean He forgot about the promises He made to us, and needs us to remind Him, so He does not forget. It means He remembers every promise He has ever made, because He is God Almighty, and at the perfect time He will fulfill every promise.
May this Christmas Season be a reminder to us that the God we love and serve has not forgotten us. He understands our every need, spiritual, emotional, and physical. Be encouraged by remembering the Birth of Jesus. He did not forget the Israelites. He will not forget us!
“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.” Hebrews 10:23 NIV
