my god why have you forsaken me

God really opened my eyes to this lately and I am blessed by it. 

Jesus died on the cross saying (paraphrased) ”my god why have you forsaken me?”  Did He feel forsaken?  No.  He was reminding us to look at the old testament to see how He was fulfilling scripture.  Psalm 22 is a great read.  For example, look at verse 24:

Ps 22:24 For he has not despised or disdained the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help. 

He has not hidden His face, but listened to our cry for help.  Remember that, faithfully.  Thanks God.
