“I will not forget about you!” — Isaiah 49:15

One person had more than four hundred million dollars in bitcoins, but he forgot the password to the device where these funds were stored, so he could not withdraw a single cent. And the device self-destructed after ten unsuccessful attempts to enter the password. For ten years the poor man was tormented, trying to remember the cherished formula. He tried eight options and all were wrong. In 2021, he was in despair that there were only two attempts left before all was lost.

People are creatures that tend to forget. Sometimes we forget some little things (for example, where we put the keys), and sometimes something really serious (up to four hundred million passwords). Fortunately, God is not like us. He never forgets what he values. In difficult times, the Israelites were afraid that God had forgotten about them: “The Lord has forsaken me, and my Lord has forgotten me” (Is. 49:14). But the prophet assured his compatriots that God always remembers them. “Will a woman forget her baby?” he asks (v. 15). Of course, a mother will never forget her baby. But if such an incredible event happens, we know that God will never forget us.

“Therefore, I carved you on My palms,” He says (v. 16). The Lord has made our names part of His essence. Let us remember that He cannot forget those whom He loves.

Have you ever forgotten something important? How much does thinking about God’s memory give you confidence?

God, thank You that Your memory is reliable and unchanging.
