SCRIPTURE: Psalm (NIV) 105:4 Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. 5 Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,…
41 He opened the rock, and water gushed out; like a river it flowed in the desert.42 For he remembered his holy promise given to his servant Abraham. 43 He brought out his people with rejoicing, his chosen ones with shouts of joy;
OBSERVATION: In the first verses of this psalm, we are told to remember the great things God has done as well as His judgments. We need to remember His miracles to be encouraged; we need to remember His judgments to be warned.
Being made in the likeness and image of God, we have the capacity to remember—just as He has the capacity to remember! Look again at verse 42 above! God’s promises are holy and God remembers them!
APPLICATION: Many of God’s promises are conditional. He will do something if we do something. We are wise to follow His directions. Note: 1John 1:9 If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Other of God’s promises are unconditional. He has promised and He will perform what He promised. For example, God promised the people of Israel the land where they are settled and the whole world will not be able to negate God’s promise!
PRAYER: Holy Spirit, as I read the Bible, draw my attention to the promises. Show me which ones apply to me. Show me my part in releasing the promises into my life. May I live a life that pleases you and one you want to help. In Jesus Name, Amen.
