Forsaken, Forgotten? ( Hebrews 13 v 5 )

Had God forgotten Joseph when his brothers sold into slavery,and when he was unjustly cast into prison?. Had God forgotten Job when he lost his family,possessions ,health?,had God forgotten Jeremiah when he cast into a pit?or when Paul was beaten and put into a prison?. If I added your name to the list,by adding your difficulties that you may be having,and ask do you think God has forgotten you?.In Mark 4 v 35 ff we read that the disciples where in a boat with Jesus, suddenly a storm came up the boat was in danger of sinking. Now all the time Jesus was sleeping,and did not appear that Jesus cared if they perished,they even told him as much.Now that takes it to another level, It is a fact that when we are in difficulties and it appears that the Lord is not responding ,and does not appear to be even listening to ones prayers that we think all sorts of things?.In Isaiah 49 v 14 we have Gods people declaring, 'The Lord has forsaken me,the Lord has forgotten me'.Here is what God replies.'Can a mother forget the baby at her breast, and have no compassion on the child she has borne?.Though she may forget I will not forget you. See I have engraved you on the palms of my hands.( Isa v 49 v 15 - 16 ) That's the word of the Lord for you today.
