Dear Father,
While reading through the book of Jeremiah, I came across his prophecy against Babylon. It says, "Therefore wild beasts shall dwell with hyenas in Babylon, and ostriches shall dwell in her. She shall never again have people, nor be inhabited for all generations." It has been almost 2,700 years since this prophecy was made, and Babylon, which was once the greatest city of its age, is no longer a living city but is filled with archaeological ruins.
How deeply profound, Father. After 2,700 years! I've come across several other biblical prophecies that are now our reality, and it almost feels right to ask, how did You not forget? How has everything fallen into place just as You said it would? And whenever there was a change, a word from You preceded it. How are You so detailed, and yet so faithful?
Look at what this implies. Time has a way of convincing us that silence means forgetfulness. So much that our greatest temptation in seasons of waiting is amnesia. We forget Your goodness long before You ever forget Your word, and we act as though the God who governs galaxies might overlook one small life. So we stop counting the days, stop expecting, and slowly stop believing. But do You forget?
I think unbelief is a side effect of our humanity. We often measure divine promises with human scales, forgetting to put our humanity aside. So, in our limitations, we try to measure You, concluding that the weight of the world has somehow pushed our story to the bottom of Your priorities. Yet, do You ever forget?
