There are times as we who follow Jesus, walk this Pilgrims pathway that our world begins to unravel, and then the unraveling takes on a faster pace, soon we begin to think that God has forgotten us.

The inward search for some hidden sin begins, we confess, even those things which we don’t know. Our time of reading the Bible becomes dull and our prayers become cold.

How would this feel to you and I if this dried up place lasted for forty long years, well friends it did to a man long ago, this man was to be the next prince of Egypt. His name Moses.

Moses for forty years wandered as a shepherd in the land of Midian. How many times did Moses regret killing that Egyptian, surely he could be restored, and yet year after long year Moses shepherded.

Moses must of been to the point where he just accepted his plight, and what had ever become of his people? Had God abandoned them the same way he was abandoned?

No, God did not forget, He came to Moses via a burning bush. He told Moses in Exodus 3: 7 Then the LORD said, “I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters. I know their sufferings,

Neither does God forget you. Jesus gave the great commision in Matthew 28:16-20 : 16 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. 17 And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

What does Jesus say in the second part of verse 20, “And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Jesus doesn’t lie, trust that He is always with you even in the driest of times that might include disaster.
