| 0:00.0 | Hi, thanks for joining us for today's encouragement from Our Daily Bread. |
| 0:09.9 | My name is Arthur Jackson, and I wrote today's reading titled Not Forgotten. |
| 0:16.4 | Uncle Arthur, do you remember the day that you took me to the barbershop in the supermarket? |
| 0:21.9 | I was wearing tan khakis, a plaid Oxford shirt, a navy blue cardigan, brown socks, and brown |
| 0:30.1 | rock port shoes. The date was Thursday, October 20, 2016. My nephew Jared's autism-related challenges are offset by his phenomenal memory |
| 0:42.4 | that can recall details like days and dates and the clothes he was wearing years after an event took |
| 0:50.4 | place. Because of the way he's wired, Jared possesses the kind of memory that reminds me of the |
| 0:57.6 | all-knowing, loving God, the keeper of time and eternity. He knows the facts and won't forget his |
| 1:05.2 | promises or his people. Have you had moments when you've questioned whether or not you've been forgotten by God, |
| 1:13.0 | when others appear to be healthier or happier or more successful or otherwise better off? |

| 1:34.3 | God's compassion and care exceeded the natural bonds of affection that mothers have for |
| 1:40.2 | their children. Before embracing labels like forsaken or forgotten, think again of what God |
| 1:48.0 | is done in and through his son, Jesus. In the gospel that brings forgiveness, God has clearly |
| 1:55.6 | said, I will not forget you. |
| 2:11.6 | Today's Our Daily Bread Devotional Scripture reading is from Isaiah chapter 49, verses 14 to 18. |
| 2:15.7 | But Zion said, the Lord has forsaken me. |
| 2:21.2 | The Lord has forgotten me. Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she is born? Though she may forget, I will not forget you. |
| 2:29.7 | See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands. Your walls are ever before me. Your children hasten back, |
| 2:38.7 | and those who laid you waist depart from you. Lift up your eyes and look around. All your |
| 2:45.4 | children gather and come to you. As surely as I live, declares the Lord, you will wear them all as ornaments. |
