Remembered by God

“And God remembered Noah.” Genesis 8:1

As a child I liked the song, “Do Lord, O do Lord, O do remember me.” It has easy lyrics and a lively tune. It also has a great spiritual truth. God does not forget His children, even when we most think that He has. Noah had been afloat for months in a stinky, cramped boat with almost no light. We can understand if he thought that God had forgotten him; but God hadn’t. We also see in Scripture that God remembered Abraham’s plea and saved Lot. He remembered Rachel in her childless condition and gave her a son. He remembered His people Israel and led them out of bondage in Egypt. God remembers, even when we forget to believe He does.

Have you been waiting for what you feel is too long a time for God to remember you? Do you really think He has forgotten you? Remember Noah, Abraham, Rachel, and the children of Israel. God always remembers His own.

Dear Father, When I am most afraid of being forgotten, help me remember that I am Your child. Amen.
