The feeling of abandonment seems to be surfacing these days even after so many are becoming active motivators. Today, the media is being saturated with programs geared towards helping someone else with their problems. Such as, Oprah, Murry, Dr. Phil are examples of people who are trying to help others with their situations. Yet, more and more people are feeling left out, abandoned and the question is why? With the increase of populations how could someone living in a city as large as New York or Chicago feel so alone? The feeling of loneliness is among us, 1 out of every 10 people is lonely.
Psalms 115:12-13
The Lord remembers us and will bless us: He will bless his people Israel, he will bless the house of Aaron, 13 he will bless those who fear the Lord—small and great alike.
The Psalmist’s desire was for God not to forsake he and his people. It seems that loneliness was apparent in those days as well. In fact, throughout history loneliness has always existed. Loneliness is defined as having the need for an intimate relationship. And, when one has an intimate relationship with another each keeps each other in their mind; he or she never forgets the other. In the times of Noah sin was at all times high and God was about to pour his wrath on man kind (Ge. 8:1-3). But, God remembered Noah and instructed him to make the ark; two by two God caused the animals to march into the ark. When the floods of life come our way God remembers his promises and sets out to rescue or provide an escape for us (Ps. 105:8).
During the times of Joseph after he brought his family to live in Egypt a new king arrived and Joseph died. The people of Israel found themselves for four hundred years in bondage (Ex. 2:23-25), and after the called on the Lord he remembered them and provided a savior for them; Moses. God never forgets us his faithfulness is ever enduring He has remembered his love for his people (Ps. 98:3). The people of Israel followed after the god’s of Egypt and hardened their hearts towards God until they cried unto him, and desired that God would remember them and he did (Ps.25:7). The Psalmist desired that God would remember him. These last days while loneliness is on the rise reaching people of all ages it is important that we understand that God remembers us.
