Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of
them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all
numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. –
Luke 12.6-7
Let’s be honest. Has there ever been a time when you
have felt like maybe, just maybe, God has kind of forgotten about you and where
you are and what you are going through? Do ever feel like maybe He is missing
something?
Maybe not, but I don’t think I have ever really though
that God has forgotten me, but I sure have wondered about if He really sees the
straits I am in.
Now that is absurd. The Lord has really given me a good
life. I have a roof over my head (it’s not my roof, but it is a roof). I have
decent clothes to wear. I have heat. I have a decent car. I have a wonderful
bed. I have a chruch and family and friends in abundance. I have plenty to eat.
But there are couple of niggling things that really
make me anxious. Sometimes I can get caught off guard and wonder it God really
knows what is going on. My eyes can’t make sense of it.
I love my kids. I can’t imagine every forgetting them.
One of the saddest things about illnesses like dementia has to be the idea of
forgetting your children. But God doesn’t get dementia. He will never forget
us. No matter what we are going through and how it seems God has not forgotten.
We are his children. We are not forgotten. We can trust
Him.
