God does not forget us

“Then they that feared the LORD spoke often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.” - Malachi 3v16

Sometimes, if we are to be totally honest, we can have the same feelings as the people of Israel did. Sometimes, we too could be tempted to say, “What is the use of serving God? Is He really listening? Is He really going to do anything for us?” God doesn’t always act the way we think He should and sometimes we don’t like it.

Sadly, at that time we really are not fearing God the way we should. Those who fear the Lord talk about it to each other. God heard them and, to illustrate it in a way that we can understand, He created a book of remembrance for all that feared the Lord and thought on Him instead of their situations and their problems.

Of course God doesn’t need a book to remember us, but what a precious thought for us to dwell on. When it seems the darkest, lets remember that we are remembered where it counts – with God.
