In 1997, Esther, a single mother from Kisumu, lost her job after standing against corruption. With two young children and no income, she turned to God, reading Psalm 9 aloud through tears and whispering, โGod will not forget me.โ Even when reduced to selling vegetables by the roadside, her hope never wavered. Months later, a former colleague remembered her integrity and recommended her for a job in a Christian NGO, opening the door to a stable new life. Today, Esther testifies, โPeople forgot me, but God never did. He remembered every tear.โ
Psalm 9:18 shows that those who are oppressed and suffering can place their hope in the Lord. The Psalmist reminds Godโs people that although the wicked may seem to prosper, the Lord never abandons the afflicted. Our hope should rest not on our circumstances or human justice but on Godโs enduring faithfulness. Even in times of despair, we should trust in Him.
As Christian pilgrims, we should place our hope firmly in God, trusting that He never forgets the oppressed or the afflicted. We should remain steadfast in faith, even when circumstances seem unfair or overwhelming, knowing that our hope in Him is imperishable. This means praying persistently, trusting His justice, and living with patience, confident that Godโs faithfulness will sustain us and bring ultimate deliverance.

Does your waiting at times feel like abandonment? Remember: God sees you, and your hope in Him is secure.
