R.    The Lord remembers his covenant for ever. He remembers forever his covenant which he made binding for a thousand generations – Which he entered into with Abraham and by his oath to Isaac. R.    The Lord remembers his covenant for ever. (Psalm 105)

The Lord remembers . . . covenant, land, promise, people. But we humans tend to forget. As the old grandpa used to say, “When we stop remembering . . . we forget.” That God remembers us and never forgets is our hope.
