Think on Me
“But think on me when it shall be well with thee” (Genesis 40:14).
Often we turn to the Lord when the going gets tough and we have requests and needs. However, it is quite another thing to think about Him when everything is going well.
In the above verse, Joseph, who was in prison, asked the chief butler to remember him when he was back in his old job and doing well. But the butler forgot. This is just a little lesson to us that we too would forget all about the Lord unless we had something to remember Him by. That is why the Lord Jesus took a loaf and a cup, and said to His disciples, “This do in remembrance of Me” (Luke 22:19).
The loaf and the cup remind us of Him in His death. “For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till He come” (1 Corinthians 11:26). The Lord knew that we would need a reminder and that we would need it often. Remember Him today by eating of the bread and drinking of the cup, and remember Him in your heart all this coming week.
