Hello,
The memory is a powerful thing. Our memory influences decisions
about what to do or not do again. Clear memory adds in motivation, and an
aligned rationale (true whether we are influenced to start or stop – and whether
it is good or bad). We can use our memory to help us push through challenging
times. We can use it to not lose sight of whom we are aligned to, and where we
are going. There are several instances in scripture of God remembering. I know
He can’t forget, but I see this term with Him as meaning “taking action because
He didn’t forget”.
Some examples:
Genesis 8:1 “But God remembered Noah and all the beasts and
all the cattle that were with him in the ark; and God caused a wind to pass
over the earth, and the water subsided.” (NASB)
Genesis 19:29 “Thus is came about, when God destroyed the
cities of the valley, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the
midst of the overthrow, when He overthrew the cities in which Lot lived” (NASB)
Genesis 30:22 “Then God remembered Rachel, and God gave heed
to her and opened her womb.” (NASB)
I pray we are all encouraged to spend some time remembering
whom we follow and what He has done for us today.
Have a blessed day,
