I AM NOT FORGOTTEN. Ps 33:20 Waiting is hard at any time; but when hours, days, weeks or even months pass and our prayers seem to go unanswered, its easy to feel that God has forgotten us. Perhaps we can struggle through the day with its distraction, but at night its always difficult to deal with our anxious thoughts. Worries loom large, dark hours seem endless and utter weariness makes it look impossible to face the new day. The psalmist grew weary as he waited (Ps 13:1) He felt abandoned-- as if his enemies were gaining the upper hand vs2. When were waiting for God to resolve a difficult siuation or to answer often-repeated prayers, fasting, its easy to get discouraged. Satan whispers that God has forgotten us, that things will never change. We may be tempted to give in despair. Why bother to read the Bible, to fast or pray? Why make the effort to worship with fellow believers in Christ? The fact is that we need our spiritual lifelines most when were waiting. They help to hold us steady in the flow of Gods love and to become sensitive to His Spirit. The psalmist had a remedy. He focused on all that he knew of Gods love, reminding himself of past blessings and deliberately praising God, who would not forget him. God is worth waiting for; His time is always the best. He has not forgotten you, wait for Him.
