REMEMBER
BREAD
10 When
the Lord your God brings you into
the land he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you--a
land with large, flourishing cities you did not build, 11 houses filled with all kinds
of good things you did not provide, wells you did not dig, and vineyards and
olive groves you did not plant--then when you eat and are satisfied, 12 be careful that you do not
forget the Lord, who brought you
out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. Deuteronomy 6:10-12 (NIV)
Love
the Lord your God and keep his
requirements, his decrees, his laws and his commands always. 2 Remember today that your
children were not the ones who saw and experienced the discipline of the Lord your God: his majesty, his mighty
hand, his outstretched arm; 3 the signs he performed and the things he did in the
heart of Egypt, both to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his whole country; 4 what he did to the Egyptian
army, to its horses and chariots, how he overwhelmed them with the waters of
the Red Sea as they were pursuing you, and how the Lord brought lasting ruin on them. 5 It was not your children who
saw what he did for you in the desert until you arrived at this place, 6 and what he did to Dathan and
Abiram, sons of Eliab the Reubenite, when the earth opened its mouth right in
the middle of all Israel and swallowed them up with their households, their
tents and every living thing that belonged to them. 7 But it was your own eyes that
saw all these great things the Lord
has done. Deuteronomy 11:1-7 (NIV)
11 Look
to the Lord and his strength; seek
his face always. 12 Remember
the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced. 1 Chronicles 16:11-12 (NIV)
11 I will
remember the deeds of the Lord;
yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. 12 I will meditate on all your
works and consider all your mighty deeds. 13 Your ways, O God, are holy. What god is so great as
our God? Psalms 77:11-13 (NIV)
21 “Yet
this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: 22 Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail. 23 They are new every morning; great is your
faithfulness. 24 I say
to myself, "The Lord is my
portion; therefore I will wait for him.”
Lamentations 3:21-24 (NIV)
8 Remember
Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David. This is my gospel, 9 for which I am suffering even
to the point of being chained like a criminal. But God's word is not chained. 10 Therefore I endure everything
for the sake of the elect, that they too may obtain the salvation that is in
Christ Jesus, with eternal glory. 11 Here is a trustworthy saying: If we died with him, we will also live with
him; 12 if we
endure, we will also reign with him. If we disown him, he will also disown us; 13 if we are faithless, he will
remain faithful, for he cannot disown himself. 2 Timothy 2:8-13 (NIV)

“So
if you find yourself in a difficult spot, remember: you are there by God’s appointment, in His
keeping, under His training, and for His time.
And all evidence to the contrary, there’s no better place to be.” Robert
J. Morgan
“Remember
Whose you are and Whom you serve.” Oswald
Chambers
“Sometimes the enemy seems to get an
advantage over us; but the battle is not over yet. At last thou shalt
have the victory, and carry the day for all that. In hard struggles
remember the power of Christ, who, in his resurrection, broke through
everything. With him thou canst also break through, and be more than
conqueror. Yea, in every conflict, if thy faith be firm, thou canst be
sure of victory beforehand; for faith engages Christ’s power, and his power
ensureth victory; it is as impossible for thine enemies to keep thee always in
bonds, as it was impossible that Christ could be kept in the grave by the
stone, seal, and keepers. Nay, the greater their force is, the more
glorious will be the victory of Christ over them.” K. H.
Von Bogatzky
“It is
impossible for that man to despair who remembers that his Helper is
omnipotent.” Jeremy Taylor
“God wants us to
reconnect with the powerful and timeless things He has done in the past,
enabling us to build on them rather than always starting over. He not only desires that we be encouraged by
remembering His past faithfulness, but also to realize that the promises and
anointings released during those seasons are still available today.” Dutch
Sheets
“The same God who
directs the earth in its orbit, feeds the burning furnace of the sun, and trims
the lamps of heaven, has promised to supply you with daily strength. While He is able to uphold the universe,
don’t even dream that He will prove unable to fulfill His own promises. Remember what He did in ages past, in the former
generations. Remember how He spoke, and
it was done; how He commanded, and it stood fast. Shall He that created the world grow
weary? He hangs the world upon nothing;
shall He who does this be unable to support His children? Shall He be unfaithful to His word for want
of power? Who is it that restrains the
tempest? Doesn’t He ride upon the wings
of the wind, and make the clouds His chariots, and hold the ocean in the hollow
of His hand? How can He fail you? When He has put such a faithful promise as
this on record, will you for a moment indulge the thought that He has out
promised Himself, and gone beyond his power to fulfill? Ah, no!
You cannot doubt any longer.”
Charles H. Spurgeon
HEART SAVOR
· I am called to remember all that God has done for me as
I am so prone to forget.
· I am responsible for passing truth on to my children
and grandchildren – things that my eyes have seen and that my ears have heard
and that my life has experienced through God’s grace, blessing and leading – to
encourage and strengthen their faith.
· The Lord is my sufficiency and my strength. He loves me with an everlasting love. He has never failed me. I do well to reflect on these truths not only
during times of trial but even more so of blessing.
