Our Desire

“The desire of our soul is to Thy name, and to the remembrance of Thee” (Isaiah 26:8).

In some measure every believer, deep down in their soul, has a desire towards the Lord Jesus. Why? Because He gave Himself for us at Calvary’s cross. He suffered for our sin. He died, and shed His blood to wash us clean and make us fit for heaven. As a result we can with confidence and joy echo with the Apostle Paul, “The Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me” (Galatians 2:20). This should cause our affection to go out to Him. And not just to be identified with the name of Jesus, but to remember Him and the cost of our salvation. That’s what’s so special about today. We can remember Him. Here are some things in connection with His person and work that we should remember today:

“We will remember the name of the Lord our God” (Psalm 20:7).

“Give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness” (Psalm 30:4).

“Remember His marvellous works that He hath done” (Psalm 105:5).

“We will remember Thy love” (Song of Solomon 1:4).
