Today’s Topic: Unforgettable—That’s Who You Are
Scripture: I have formed you, you are My servant; O Israel, you will not be forgotten by Me! – Isaiah 44:21
Recommended Reading: 1 Peter 5:8-11
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
DAVID JEREMIAH’S TURNING POINT 9 AUGUST 2023
In her memoirs, missionary Ella Marie Holmes had a student, Imogini, who battled an eye infection caused by ingrowing eyelashes. The girl was going to Calcutta to see a doctor about the condition. One night, Ella took Imogini on a walk, and the girl began crying. Ella thought it was because she was afraid to travel to Calcutta.
“No, no,” said the girl. “I am thinking how good God is! For a year I sat in the house and never hoped to go about again…. Now….I am visiting, hearing the voice of friends…and I am to go to Calcutta. I thought God had forgotten me and just see what good things He has done for me!… I know now that God was planning these good things for me all the time I supposed He had forgotten all about me!”1
Sometimes we feel God has forgotten us, especially when some particular prayer remains unanswered. But you are unforgettable to Him. He is still listening and planning good things for you. Be encouraged!
It is usually strange answers to prayer that hide the deepest, best, and most beautiful purposes.
