82. He Was The Son Of David

Matthew 21:9

Do you ever feel forgotten - like if you walked out of your own life, that no one would notice for a couple of weeks? What if God has forgotten you? I mean, He’s got so much to do, right? Surely my little life has escaped His notice... Sometimes we get so caught up just living our little existence day to day that we can feel disconnected from other people. Not only that, but we also feel disconnected from the Lord and what He’s up to. Before you know it, you’re down in the dumps and you think no one cares. Times like these can sometimes become more frustrating by the fact that you may not be getting that much out of the Scriptures. Maybe you don’t feel all that connected to God and maybe it feels like He’s not holding up His end of the bargain either... as in, He’s not really speaking to you or showing you much in your time in the Word - when you have it. I know that sometimes it feels like God has forgotten you, but I promise you He hans’t. Jesus was called the Son of David. That refers back to the guy God picked to be Israel’s king a thousand years before Jesus was born. God promised David that he would have a descendant sit on his throne forever and ever. Now, over those 1,000 years, it didn’t always look like God was involved or even there at all, but He was always in control, always passing the torch down to another of David’s descendants and then Jesus came along - the Son of David. No matter how dark it gets, God is there. He hans’t forgotten you. He’s keeping His promise.
