FAITH CAPSULE: He will remember you with favor and visit you with salvation if you will trust and hope in Him.
Genesis 7
God will not overlook or miss every demonstration of our fear for His name. Speaking about and meditating on the word of 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 that does not sleep does not forget or fail to remember His children. God is a mindful God; a caring father that will always remember to attend His children. David identified the character of God when he questioned, “What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him?” (Psalm 8:4) God’s remembrance is God’s visitation. When God remembrance His children, He is set to visit. The Psalmist wanted to be remembered as stated in Psalm 106:4 “Remember me, O LORD, with the favor You have toward Your people. Oh, visit me with Your salvation.” It was God’s remembrance of Noah that directed Noah into the vessel of salvation which saved him and his family from the water of destruction. While Noah and his family were in the ark for forty days, God also remembered Noah in the ark of salvation. God remembered Noah and 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. 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; Pharaoh the king of Egypt could not stop the Israelites from setting out for their journey to the Promised Land. For the children of Israel, God’s acknowledgement was bondage termination.
Another example is Hannah in the book of Samuel. Hannah 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. Without any doubt, God is a good God and there is no evil in all of His doing.
Going by the testimonies of God which remembers and visits, it is evident that your glorious vision or dream that is centered on God will come to manifestation. God is in control of time and He has made everything beautiful in its time. Today, be restful in the name of God. He will remember you with favor and visit you with salvation if you will trust and hope in Him.
Prayer for today: Ask for the grace of God to be mindful of His goodness.
