GOD REMEMBERS1 Samuel 1
< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
ÒThen 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. Ò (Genesis 8:1) God does not sleep and He will not sleep concerning His children. The fact that He remembered is not a demonstration of a forgetful mind but it is an indication that God moves at His own pace and His timing is better. God will always remember with favor and visits with salvation. God commanded Noah to build an ark of salvation at the time of the flood and when it was time for Noah to land on dry land, He remembered Noah and made a way for him on the dry land. 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. 24 So God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. 25 And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God acknowledged them.Ó (Exodus 2:23-25) The children of Israel were in bondage for over four hundred years. Salvation was not activated for the children of Israel until God remembered them. What do you need for God to remember you? God is able to remember you and dry every tear of lack; He is able to remember in moving you forward from every ground of stagnation. Depending on where you are or what you want Him to remember you for, your case might require for you to cry or groan. God will never forget you. Sarah was barren for a while before God remembered her. Sarah was going to Shiloh yearly with her husband and Peninnah. Sarah did not miss the Shiloh based on any excuse despite her painful area of lack. If you have been waiting on God for long it will not be long for Him to remember you because He is a merciful God and no situation is hidden from God. After many years of going to Shiloh with nothing to show for her going, she encountered favor when Eli the priest at Shiloh prayed the prayer of favor for Sarah. ÒThen they rose early in the morning and worshiped before the LORD, and returned and came to their house at Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and the LORD remembered her. 20 So it came to pass in the process of time that Hannah conceived and bore a son, and called his name Samuel saying, ÒBecause I have asked for him from the LORD.Ó At the process of time God remembered Sarah. Pray in the name of Jesus and the same God that visited Noah, the children of Israel and Sarah will not forget you; He will remember you with favor and He will visit you with salvation.
