The Lord Will Not Forget His People

John W. Welch

Is it reassuring to you today to know that God will not forget you? You have made covenants with Him and while you may on occasion forget Him, He will never forget you. That thought must have been very reassuring to Nephi living now in a remote place, and feeling the weight of responsibility for his people. How heartening it would have been to read to all of them of the promise of God’s enduring love and covenant. "Yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee" (v. 15). Just as we can be reassured by that, Nephi and his people must all have taken great comfort in those very words.
