God Will Provide
He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure. Isaiah 33:16
As the decree issued by the various rulers of Christendom against commandment keepers shall withdraw the protection of government....Many will find refuge in the strongholds of the mountains. Like the Christians of the Piedmont valleys, they will thank God for "the munitions of rocks" (Isaiah 33:16). But many of all nations and of all classes, high and low, rich and poor, black and white, will be cast into the most unjust and cruel bondage. The beloved of God pass weary days, bound in chains, shut in by prison bars, sentenced to be slain, some apparently left to die of starvation in dark and loathsome dungeons. No human ear is open to hear their moans, no human hand is ready to lend them help.
Will the Lord forget His people in this trying hour? Did He forget faithful Noah when judgments were visited upon the antediluvian world? Did he forget Lot when the fire came down from heaven to consume the cities of the plain? Did He forget Joseph surrounded by idolaters in Egypt? Did He forget Elijah when the oath of Jezebel threatened him with the fate of the prophets of Baal? Did He forget Jeremiah in the dark and dismal pit of his prison house? Did He forget the three worthies in the fiery furnace? or Daniel in the den of lions? (The Great Controversy, 626)
Reflection: "Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of My hands" (Isaiah 49:16). The Lord of hosts has said: "He that toucheth you toucheth the apple of His eye" (Zechariah 2:8). (The Great Controversy, 626). The obvious answer to the question of "Will Lord forget His people" is no, never. He loves us with an everlasting love. If we constantly keep that in our hearts, we overcome trials just as those great men and women in God's Word overcame.
