God remembered Noah. Rachel. Hannah. His covenant. But an omniscient God doesn’t forget—so what does Scripture mean when it says God remembers? The answer changes how we understand the times when God seems silent.

Isaiah 44 describes a carpenter who uses part of a tree for firewood and the rest to make a god. Ridiculous? Absolutely. But perhaps we aren’t so different when we decide for ourselves who God is and what is true.
What if you had a compass that pointed toward what you desire most? Our hearts may reveal more about our treasures—and our worship—than we realize.
