Because our God remembers

Whenever I form clouds over the earth and the bow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all the living creatures: water will never again become a flood to destroy every creature.

The bow will be in the clouds, and I will look at it and remember the permanent covenant between God and all the living creatures on earth. (Genesis 9:14-16)

What if God were a God that forgets his promises?

That’s a scary thought.

But God doesn’t forget his promises. He is faithful to them.

And that’s why we have hope.

Even when we are faithless, he remains faithful. (2 Timothy 2:13)

That’s why Jeremiah could sing,

Because of the Lord’s faithful love
we do not perish,
for his mercies never end.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness! (Lamentations 3:22-23)
