God Remembers - Do We?

“And they remembered His words.” Luke 24:8

God remembered His promise to Eve (deliverer), to Abraham, to Isaac, to Jacob (progeny), to King David (established throne), to Isaiah (virgin birth), to Micah (place of birth), to Daniel (time of birth), and to Malachi (a forerunner), and all the hosts of Old Testament believers who expected the promised coming Messiah. In short, God keeps His promises.

But what about us? Do we remember? Jesus had told His disciples that He was to be abused, crucified, and resurrected. As they huddled in the Upper Room on that dark Saturday after His death, did they remember? No. Did He still rise from the dead? Yes. Then in shock and amazement they remembered. It should not amaze us that God remembers us and His promises to us. He always has and always will. He will remember to come again – the second glorious Advent. Are we still believing and looking forward to it? God is.

Dear Father, Help us to be ever mindful of the promise of Christ’s return. Amen. 

  The Friday Benediction

Until Monday, my friends, may the good God envelop you with His grace; may you prove the common confession of faith, “I believe in the holy Christian church and in the fellowship of the saints”, and may you be enriched with joy and hope as you exercise that confession this weekend.  Amen
