YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN
Today's reading: Genesis 8-11

"But God remembered Noah and all the animals in the boat..." Genesis 8:1 NLT

There's something a little comical about God needing to put a verse like this in the Bible.

We know God doesn't forget anything. We know His mind is capable of multi-tasking to the nth degree. We are well aware of the fact that nothing, absolutely nothing, is out of His radar!

Funny, huh?

Well, it might be if we weren't all caught up in the overwhelming feelings of being forgotten that we all experience from time to time.

Like during storms that rage for days and days. Illnesses that linger months and months. Trials that go on and on. Heartaches that have lasted longer than any of us would have ever imagined.

We do feel forgotten. We do feel like we're in a little boat floating in the middle of nowhere--loaded down with a bunch of animals, the smells that go with them and the souveniers you get when animals are around.

God has not forgotten us! Our prayer requests have not slipped under the doodle pad on His desk. Our messages have not failed to arrive. He may have us on hold, but He has not forgotten our call!

Maybe it's time we reminded satan of it all! After all, he is the one placing the seeds of doubt into our hearts and minds--and boy, oh boy, is it ever fertile soil!
