Things to Remember (July 18)

Remember these things, O Jacob for you are my servant O Israel.  I have made you, you are my servant; O Israel, I will not forget you.
                                Isaiah 44:21

We need to review, refresh our mind and remember what we read in the Bible.  For it is God's Word of truth, light and life to the world. Today we are comforted reading that God will not forget us.  We may have been listing attributes of God during our reading.  We have quite a list thus far.  Some of the attributes of God are incomparable, powerful, creator, everlasting, provider of salvation, just, righteous, forgiving, and merciful.  We need to remember that God will not forget us.  He knows us by name, and, in fact, knows us better than we know ourselves.

In addition, we need to remember that we  are servants also.  On Earth, led by the Spirit, we are in a sense the hands, feet, eyes and ears of God. We are vessels that might convey God's love, concern and message to others.

Jesus' parable of the sower comes to mind. The Word, God, is the sower, but we too must partake in the sowing, for there is much work to do and the hands are few.

How are you encouraged by knowing that you are remembered  and will not be forgotten?

What kinds of sowing have you done recently, today?

Pray for opportunities to tell the story.


In Christ,

David P
