"God has said, "Never will I leave you; Never will I forsake you."
Last week in our Bible study we learnt about Joseph and how he was first sold by his brothers. I am wondering if he thought maybe my father will come and look for me and find me. I cannot imagine what he must have felt like when that never happened.
Then Joseph gets thrown into jail for doing the right thing, because he did not want to sin against God. Now I am sure he must have thought God has forgotten him. But God did not, Joseph did get out of Jail and was a very powerful man in Egypt. (Go and read Genesis 39 and 40)
In today's life it is very easy to feel forgotten and lonely. A lot of us live far away from our family, and it is not always easy to meet people and make friends!
But God says he will always be with us and will not forget you.
Isaiah 49:15
"Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you!"
Psalm 27:10
"Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will always receive me."
We will never be forgotten by God!
