[Mary Naeem]

In each passage that says, “God remembered,” we see that the phrase is followed by some sort of action or work on behalf of God’s people. When God “remembered” Noah and his family floating in the ark, He caused wind to blow, which began to dry up the water that covered the earth (Genesis 8:1). In Exodus 2:24, God “remembers” His people who were enslaved to the Egyptians, and, in the very next chapter, He sets in motion His plan to free the Israelites. Psalm 98:3 speaks of God’s continual action toward His people. We conclude that God never forgets but instead works in perpetuity on behalf of those He loves.
