When God remembers you, He will influence situations in your favour and your prayers will be answered. Every promise God has made to you will be fulfilled when He remembers you. This season, God will remember you for good in Jesus name.
To say that God remembers is to say that he is doing exactly what he promised. He never forgets.
After the great flood, for example, the Lord placed a sign in the heavens and said: “I will remember my covenant between me, you, and all the living beings – never again will I destroy all life with a single flood” (Genesis 9:15). He heard their groanings, remembered His people, and delivered them (Exodus 2:24).
God remembers and knows our frame (Psalm 103:14)
For he knows our frame; God remembers that we are dust. The Lord knows the very frame of our life, the frailty of our conditions. Yet He remembers us and wraps us under His wings.
REV 2:5 Therefore remember from where you have fallen, and repent and do the deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you and will remove your lampstand out of its place unless you repent. REV 3:3 So remember what you have received and heard; and keep it, and repent.
This gift is memory. Thurman defines memory as, “one of God's great gifts to the human spirit without which neither life nor experience could have any meaning.”
The verb “remember” (Hebrew zachor) appears 15 times in this book. Actually, throughout the entire Old Testament memory is a prominent word with no fewer than 169 occurrences. “Remember that you were strangers in Egypt”; “Remember the days of old”; “Remember the seventh day to keep it holy.”
He always keeps His promises and God, your God, will restore everything you lost (Deuteronomy 30:3, MSG). The Lord says, I will give you back what you lost to the swarming locusts, the hopping locusts, the stripping locusts, and the cutting locusts (Joel 2:25, NLT). If He did it for me, He'll do it for you.
It's God. In Isaiah 40:10 it reads, “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Translation, “I've got your back.” No matter what happens throughout the season, at school or at home, God has your back.
Let's thank God that he does not keep a record. God could fill one yellow pad after another with our sins, toss them in our faces, and refuse to have anything more to do with us. If he did, according to Psalm 130:3, we would not stand a chance.
Prayerfully study the following scriptures: Amos 3:6–7. Amos teaches that the Lord reveals his secrets to his servants the prophets.
Remembering God's goodness moves us to respond to our world in hope rather than fear. Remembering God's love for us fuels our love for others. The discipline of remembering inspires us to act. Throughout the Bible, God's people are exhorted to place their trust in him and join him as he restores and redeems our world.
Fifteen hundred years after Noah's great flood, King Solomon was receiving some advice from his father, King David, who said this, ” … for the Lord searches all hearts, and understands every intent of the thoughts” 1 Chronicles 28:9. In other words, “Be aware of what's in your head, son. God sees it.”
Zachary actually developed as a colloquial form of the Biblical name Zacharias (Greek) from the Hebrew Zechariah meaning “God has remembered”.
The Bible clearly teaches that the moment a person turns from his sin and trusts in Jesus to be forgiven of his sin, he is saved (Acts 2:37-41). He has passed from spiritual death to spiritual life (John 5:24) and has been declared not guilty in God's court of law (Rom 3:21-26).
Even before God became man, it's clear throughout the Old Testament that God feels sorrow, even weeps for the crushing blows of His people. Psalm 34:18 promises us that “the Lord is close to the brokenhearted.” How can you be close to someone who is brokenhearted and not feel their pain?
God watches all of us constantly. He sees everything. We cannot hide from Him or keep any secret from Him. He even reads our minds.
“I will restore them because of my compassion” (Zechariah 10:6) and “I have seen their ways, but I will heal them; I will guide them and restore” (Isaiah 57:18). God can restore you. He can take what's wrong in your life and make it right. God can restore the world.
God can restore lost years by: Deepening your communion with Christ. These people, who have endured so much, enjoy a communion with the Lord that is far greater than anything they had ever known before in their religious life.
Remember the nothingness of idols and the greatness of his salvation (Isaiah 44:9-26, “Remember these things,” v. 21; Isaiah 46, “Remember this and stand firm, recall it to mind, you transgressors, remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me,” vv. 8-9).
We know that God would never leave us or forsake us as He has promised, hence divine remembrance is God remembering us for good and releasing his blessings unto us.
Indeed, there is a sense in which God “hears” everything! The Bible says, “For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, O Lord, You know it altogether” (Ps. 139:4).
In John 3:16, we read about a most precious gift: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
