God Remembers

But God remembered Noah

and all the beasts and all the cattle that were with him in the ark. Genesis 8:1

It surprises me how often in the Bible we are told “God Remembers.” In Genesis, we read how the flood destroyed the world. Only those who were with Noah in the ark remained alive. But God remembered them (8:1) and sent a wind to dry the waters so that they could leave the ark.

God also remembered Hannah when she prayed for a son (1 Sam 1:19). He gave her a child, Samuel.

Jesus remembered the dying thief who said, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.” Jesus replied, “Today You will be with Me in Paradise” (Luke 23:42-43).

God remembers us wherever we are. Our concerns are His concerns. Our pain is His pain. Commit your challenges and difficulties to Him. He is the all-seeing God who remembers us as a mother remembers her children, and He waits to meet our needs.

Bible Reading

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You that all things are known to You. I am so grateful, Lord, that although You know all things, You remember my sins no more. Amen.
