What does it mean that God remembered?
When the Bible says God remembered, it is covenant language for God keeping His promise in action. Here He remembered His covenant and brought Israel out of Egypt. Later He remembered Hannah, and she had a son (1 Samuel 1:19).

God's remembering is a pattern in Scripture: "Then God remembered Rachel", and she conceived (Genesis 30:22); here He remembered His covenant and brought a nation out of Egypt; and God remembered Hannah, and Samuel was born (1 Samuel 1:19). Each time, His remembering is followed by His action.

Genesis 19:29 says God remembered Abraham and brought Lot out. Israel's own history turned on the same words: here God remembered His covenant with Abraham in Egypt, and after the golden calf Moses prayed, "Remember Your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Israel" (Exodus 32:13).
