God will not forget nor forsake us.

 This is one of the most anchoring promises in all of Scripture. It is the bedrock of our security and the answer to our deepest fear of abandonment.

📜 The Unbreakable Promise

This assurance is a direct command and promise from God, repeated throughout Scripture to His people in their most vulnerable moments.

· The Core Covenant Promise: "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified... for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you" (Deuteronomy 31:6). This was given to Joshua as he faced an overwhelming new leadership role.

· Repeated for Our Assurance: This promise is reaffirmed in the New Testament for every believer: "Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, 'Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you'" (Hebrews 13:5). The original Greek here is emphatic, using five negatives: "I will not, I will not, I will not leave you; I will not, I will not forsake you."

✨ A Poem of Promise

He spoke it to a leader, trembling, on the river's shore,

Facing giants,facing warfare, facing tasks unknown and more:

“I will not leave you. I will not forsake your hand.”

A promise for the conquest of a promised,hostile land.

He speaks it now to you, in your uncertainty and strain,

In the loneliness that whispers you are fighting all in vain:

“I will not leave you. I will not forsake your side.”

A promise for this moment,where your fear and faith collide.

It is engraved upon the palms of hands that bear the nail.

It is the certain ending of the cross's bitter tale.

For if He bore forsakenness to purchase you His own,

How could He now forget you,seated on His throne?

Your name is known. Your path is seen. Your tears are in His jar.

He is the faithful Covenant-Keeper,and you are His by far.

So stand upon this bedrock when the shifting sands give way:

Your God will not forget you. He is with you all the way.

💬 A Prayer to Receive This Truth

Faithful Father, I receive Your promise today. When my feelings or circumstances shout that I am alone or forgotten, I choose to trust Your Word over everything else. Thank You that Your presence is my constant reality. Forgive my fears and help me to live in the courageous security that comes from knowing You are with me. In the name of Jesus, who was forsaken so I would never be, Amen.

This promise is not based on your performance, but on God's unchanging character. He cannot break His oath. To be forgotten or forsaken is now an impossibility for you in Christ. Your security is as eternal as His love.
