Last night I was supposed to go to a meeting with another small group leader...she was supposed to drive and pick me up at a agreed upon time...
She never showed and by the time I realized she wasn't coming it was too late to go...forgotten...and left behind....so my evening plans were simplified....
We don't have to go far to see others who look forgotten and/or left behind...some sit at street corners with their signs asking for help...others sit in darkened homes or rooms....time slowly passing...forgotten, it seems, by the world quickly moving, busy with life....
There are many assisted living and residence homes in this town for the seniors and elderly...I have visited a few for various reasons as well as others in different towns to see friends and family...I come away both refreshed and saddened by the feelings expressed by the residents...there is joy mingled with hopelessness....so many forgotten along the way....
God doesn't forget us...a thought and a commitment for which I am thankful...He knows us, has known us from our beginnings in the womb...He knows everything about us, even how many hairs we have on our heads...he knows our hearts, our thoughts, ....nothing is forgotten about us, except our forgiven sin....thank YOU ...
Job 11:6 and disclose to you the secrets of wisdom,for true wisdom has two sides.Know this: God has even forgotten some of your sin.
Luke 12:6-7 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
The hard part, reading through scripture, is how many times we have forgotten God...over and over through out history, the people walked away, forgetting Him...following other gods made by man...ideas...philosophies ....turning their backs on their Creator....
help me not to forget and walk a foreign path, following the world....
Jeremiah 44:9-10 Have you forgotten the wickedness committed by your ancestors and by the kings and queens of Judah and the wickedness committed by you and your wives in the land of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem? To this day they have not humbled themselves or shown reverence, nor have they followed my law and the decrees I set before you and your ancestors.
