In Remembrance
“Put Me in remembrance” (Isaiah 43:26).
In the previous verse God is reminding His people that it was He that had blotted out their transgressions. “I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions for Mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins” (Isa. 43:25).
Then He asks them to put Him in remembrance. But how easy it is to forget. Don’t we have to confess that we get so busy (I’m sure that’s what Satan wants) and so occupied with things in this world and this life that we often forget what God has done for us? And don’t we often forget what Christ accomplished when He went to the cross, bore the punishment for our sins, laid down His life, and shed His precious blood?
Today, on the first day of the week, as we go to remember the Lord in His death, let’s make a special effort to really and truly remember what it cost Him to redeem us; what He had to do in order to blot out our transgressions.
Then during the week to follow let’s not forget to always thank the Lord for what He did in order for us to be saved, to become the children of God, and to look forward to heaven when we leave this world.
