God Remembered Abraham

Not only does God remember us when we are living surrounded by wickedness but He also remembers the promises He makes to us. God made a three-tiered covenant with Abraham. Abraham and his family would multiply greatly and become a mighty nation, inherit the land promised by God, and, through his lineage, bring salvation toContinue reading “God Remembered Abraham”

God Remembered Noah

The Scriptures not only teach us what we should remember about God but also reveal that God remembers. This does not imply that He forgets as we do, but rather that He intentionally brings things to the forefront of His mind. The first example of this comes during the flood. Mankind became so wicked GodContinue reading “God Remembered Noah”

Remembered Forever

Since we are human, we forget. We forget people. We forget events. We forget memories. We forget insignificant things. We forget significant things. It is just the nature of the humanity beast. I think it is for this very reason that the Scriptures are full of the idea of remembering. God tells us to rememberContinue reading “Remembered Forever”

Remember the Rock

Life is hard—there’s no way around it. The longer we live, the more challenging it can become. A reality we make even more difficult when we choose to lead a life that pursues our own will instead of God’s. So, when you feel like life is beating you down or the consequences of the choicesContinue reading “Remember the Rock”

And while most of us enjoy the holiday time, it can be stressful and all-consuming. But for others, this time of year brings different challenges. Some may find themselvesContinue reading “All His Benefits”

Remember Me Once Again

Samson has always been such an interesting Biblical story to me. Samson was one of the few individuals selected to serve as a judge for God. His birth was a gift from God to his parents since they could not have children (1 Samuel 14). He was blessed with immense strength as long as HeContinue reading “Remember Me Once Again”

In My Distress

Psalm 77 is an extremely emotional lament psalm of Asaph. Asaph expresses very vividly his despair and the hopelessness of Israel. While the context of the psalm is not certain, most biblical scholars believe the context was during a time of some type of national crisis in Israel, possibly even during their exile. Remembrance isContinue reading “In My Distress”

In Wrath, Have Mercy

The book of Habakkuk is a very short book in the Bible. Habakkuk was a prophet called to awaken Judah to their wickedness and warn them of the impending judgment. The book itself recounts a conversation between God and Habakkuk. The book explores God’s justice, faithfulness, and sovereignty. Habakkuk wrestles with profound questions, such asContinue reading “In Wrath, Have Mercy”

You Made Me

Have you ever faced an experience so painful that you questioned why God created you? You’re not alone in that thought. Job endured immense suffering due to Satan’s temptations. He lost all his material possessions, his children, and even the support of his wife, who essentially abandoned him during his trials. To make matters worse,Continue reading “You Made Me”

In the Night

The nights are challenging for me. I’m a very light sleeper and borderline insomniac. I also struggle with nighttime anxiety. Despite taking medication and staying consistent with exercise, some nights I find myself lying awake, unable to sleep—especially if one of my dogs wakes me up. Then, depending on where my mind takes me, IContinue reading “In the Night”
