God never forgets his people. But the 400 years of divine silence following the Old Testament can make you think he does. Among God's forgotten people is an elderly forgotten couple, barren but faithful. They had yearned and prayed for children and now their time had passed. They were no longer asking or hoping for a child. God seemed silent but he was working out an incredible plan that included them. Just when all hope seems lost God tends to show up and do his best work. We can only marvel.
