“Remember me, O LORD, with the favor You have toward Your people. Oh, visit me with Your salvation.”(Psalm 106:4)
 
At the time wickedness multiplied on the face of earth, destruction and termination of wickedness and the wicked one was inevitable before God.  As an example, during the days of Noah, when wickedness became increasingly unacceptable before God, Noah was the only one in his generation set aside for salvation. The Bible recorded, “…Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD”. Only Noah was identified for deliverance among all the people on the face of the earth. If it is settled in you that you alone are doing good before the Lord, do not be intimidated but be motivated in doing good. In the days of Noah, Noah found grace. Today Jesus, the grace of God, has already come and He is here for those that will receive and believe Him as their Lord and Savior. To receive and believe Him is like gaining entrance into the ark that delivered Noah from God’s judgment. Receiving and believing in Jesus will also deliver in the time of God’s judgment of the world. Indeed, Noah found grace, and salvation became his portion. Yet he needed God to remember him after the flood had passed in order to possess the land before him. It is written, “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) As a believer, our Grace, the Lord Jesus, is already here and we also need to be remembered by our Lord God just as Noah was remembered. How then can we be remembered? To be remembered is to be consistent with the Word of God. Malachi 3:16 laid out the way to be remembered by God, “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) Evidently, the fear of God is all that needs to be in place for anyone that wants to be delivered after the destruction of the wicked. Where there is fear of God, His testimonies will always be the center of conversation and meditation. Malachi 3:16 pointed out that God will listen; He will hear every meditation. God will not overlook or miss every demonstration of our fear for His name. Speaking about and meditating on God will cause God to have a book of remembrance opened on our behalf. Who on earth would not want to be remembered by God? God’s remembrance is God’s visitation. The Psalmist wanted to be remembered, and it is written in Psalm 106:4, “Remember me, O LORD, with the favor You have toward Your people. Oh, visit me with Your salvation.” When God remembered Noah in the ark of salvation, He sent His wind, and the water of destruction subsided and Noah entered into his land of deliverance. The children of Israel, having been in bondage for over four hundred years, entered their deliverance when God remembered them, “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.” (Exodus 2:23-24) God remembered the children of Israel and God acknowledged them. With God’s acknowledgement, nothing could stop the Israelites from coming out of bondage; neither could they have been stopped from setting out for their journey to the Promised Land. For the children of Israel, God’s acknowledgement was their bondage terminated. As another example, Hannah, in the book of Samuel, never excused herself from going to Shiloh despite her bareness. Hannah kept on going and she did not yield herself to the mockery of bareness. God remembered her and visited her, “…Elkhanah knew Hannah his wife, and the LORD remembered her.” God’s remembrance of Hannah delivered her from mockery into miracle. It is clear, without any doubt, God is a good God and there is no evil in all of His doing. He is God that adds beauty and brings forth multiplication. God is the same yesterday, today and forevermore. Is there any area that you want God to remember you in the coming days? Are you walking in His commands? God encourages us in Isaiah 43:26, “Put Me in remembrance; Let us contend together; State your case, that you may be acquitted” Call on God, put Him in remembrance concerning the work of His hand and He will remember you and visit you with salvation.   
 
God’s remembrance is God’s visitation.
God will not overlook or miss every demonstration of our fear for His name.
