Today’s
post is simply a word study or a trek through the Bible looking for the word
“remember”. Each verse to come uses the
same word in the same way, but the context of each is very different. Read, learn and share what God says to you.
Exodus 2:24 NLT
God heard
their groaning, and he remembered
his covenant promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
God
doesn’t forget. His promises come true
always.
Deuteronomy 8:2 NLT
Remember how
the Lord your God led you through the wilderness for these forty years,
humbling you and testing you to prove your character, and to find out whether
or not you would obey his commands.
We
need to remember where we came from and that God was with us all the way.
Nehemiah 4:14 NLT
Then as I looked
over the situation, I called together the nobles and the rest of the people and
said to them, “Don’t be afraid of the enemy! Remember
the Lord, who is great and glorious, and fight for your brothers, your sons,
your daughters, your wives, and your homes!”
We can
help others remember God. Tell the
stories often.
Psalm 25:7 NLT
Do not remember the rebellious sins of my
youth. Remember me in the light of your unfailing love, for you are
merciful, O Lord.
God
doesn’t remember our sins after He forgives them. His love covers it all.
Yes, remember your Creator now while you
are young, before the silver cord of life snaps and the golden bowl is broken. Don’t wait until the water jar is smashed at
the spring and the pulley is broken at the well.
Remember
God. That is our job. Acknowledge that you did look away or
forget. When you remember God, turn
around. Come back to Him.
Jonah 2:7 NLT
As my life
was slipping away, I remembered
the Lord. And my earnest prayer went out
to you in your holy Temple.
He
hears our prayer, and He lets us return to Him.
Habakkuk 3:2 NLT
I have heard
all about you, Lord. I am filled with
awe by your amazing works. In this time
of our deep need, help us again as you did in years gone by. And in your anger, remember your mercy.
When
we remind God, we are really reminding ourselves and those around us.
Luke 10:3 NLT
Now go, and remember that I am sending you out as
lambs among wolves.
Remember
the purpose God gave you in this world.
We need His wisdom and courage.
John 12:16 NLT
His disciples
didn’t understand at the time that this was a fulfillment of prophecy. But after Jesus entered into his glory, they remembered what had happened and
realized that these things had been written about him.
After the
fact remember. That is what humans
do. We often forget and need to
remember.
and gave
thanks to God for it. Then he broke it
in pieces and said, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this to remember me.”
Remember
what Jesus did for us. Communion or
Lord’s Supper does the reminding.
Colossians 3:13 NLT
Make
allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember,
the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.
God
forgave our sin. Forgetting that leads
us to judge others.
Hebrews 13:3 NLT
Remember
those in prison, as if you were there yourself. Remember
also those being mistreated, as if you felt their pain in your own bodies.
Being
selfish keeps us from thinking about others.
That’s not what Jesus did.
John 14:28 NLT
Remember what
I told you: I am going away, but I will come back to you again. If you really loved me, you would be happy
that I am going to the Father, who is greater than I am.
Jesus
is coming back. Sweet truth to
remember. The end!
