Have you ever felt abandoned or forgotten by God?
One of the first and important things to never lose sight of when you are going through a difficult time is the truth that God cares very deeply about you.
It can be difficult sometimes to keep sight of this truth especially as there are certain situations, predicaments or challenges that may make it seem like God has abandoned or forgotten you but that is simply not true.
God cares very deeply about you and I. Scripture tells us:
Luke 12:6,7
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.
First off, do you know the level of care you have to have for someone to know the number of hairs on the person's head and the number of each hair?
That is a huge level of obsession and it tells you that God's care for you is very deep and very detailed. He is aware of every hurt, every predicament, every challenge, every issue, every single thing, period.
And the beautiful thing about knowing this is realising that God is not the author of that hurt or adverse situation. He didn't put it on you nor is He ‘allowing’ you to go through it. There is no connection between your hurt and God. We live in a broken, fallen world where bad things happen but He didn't author it.
Additionally, it means whatever the hurt, challenge or situation is, God has already provided the answer or solution to it. You don't have such obsessive care for someone without having provided for every issue.
And so if nothing about that hurt or situation seems to be changing, know that God is not responsible for it but has already provided an answer or solution to it.
You may need to prayerfully persevere in faith about the situation, take authority over it, talk to God about it, reflect on the dealings of God with you, search the Scriptures, etc. Whatever it is, God has already provided the solution to that thing and it is simply a matter of seeking out and applying His wisdom concerning the matter.
God hasn’t and can't forget about you.
I call you blessed.
