FAITH CAPSULE: Are you walking far from God?
Genesis 6
God shall remember you by your way of life.
Calling on God to gain His attention is not an error, but one must seek God diligently to find God.
God is near to all the evidence that He does not forget his creation that seeks him to gain His presence.
Having a desire to be remembered by God should expectantly call on God that does not disregard calling on Him.
Take note that God waits to ask for those who wait on Him. (Isaiah 64:4)
Call on God to be remembered is not an error nor sin but asking, seeking, knocking to gain the attention of God.
Matthew 7:7-8 records, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.”
The Israelites called on God to remember them in the bondage of Egypt.
Exodus 2:23-25 documents the calling of the Israelites unto God,
“Now it happened in the process of time that the king of Egypt died. Then the children of Israel groaned because of the bondage, and they cried out, and their cry came up to God because of the bondage. So God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God acknowledged them.”
The challenging time is now.
Knowing God for His goodness and mercy is not to keep quiet from calling on God, to be remembered for His divine intervention.
You are not living for God but expecting to find God?
For example, during the days of Noah, when wickedness was increasingly unacceptable before God, Noah was the only one in his challenging time to be remembered by God, the salvation of God.
The Bible records, “…Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.” (Genesis 6:8)
Noah could not be intimidated to stop doing right but gained attention before God.
Noah found grace, and salvation was his portion to be remembered by God.
Genesis 8:1 records, “Then God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.” (Genesis 8:1)
Noah walked with God to be remembered by God.
One that is consistent with God is bound to be remembered by God.
Malachi 3:16 testifies, “Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, And the LORD listened and heard them; So, a book of remembrance was written before Him For those who fear the LORD And who meditate on His name.” (Malachi 3:16)
Live life to the glory of God, who remembers to respond.
Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled to be right before God and be remembered by God.
