January 23, 2018: SOAP #2973:  Exodus 6-8; Luke 23

Scripture:  Exodus (NIV) 6:2 And God spoke unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD: 3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them. 4 And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers. 5 And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.

Observation:  Of course the all-knowing God remembers what He has said.  He remembers His promises.  He remembers what He has pledged.  He remembers his sacred promises.  And this all-knowing God is also perfect in wisdom, so He knows how to keep His word.  And the all-knowing, all-wise God is also all-powerful, so He is more than able to keep His promises.

Application:   He remembers!  He remembers every promise He has made to me; He also remembers the promises I have made to Him!   He remembers His part and He remembers my part in the agreements we have made.  He has sent His Holy Spirit to live in me, helping me to remember AND keep my promises!  This all-knowing God knows me; He knows I need help!

Prayer:    God, You are the great Promise Keeper.  Holy Spirit, help me remember the promises I have made and help me keep them.   Amen
