I Know Whom I Have Believed

Amnesia or Alzheimer’s may produce temporary or progressive decay of memory, but nightmarish horror only comes, when we voluntarily forget God. “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God” (Psalm 9:17 KJV). The All Remembering God has covenanted not to remember our sins against us, when we repent. “And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know Me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more” (Jeremiah 31:34). Understanding God’s character should evoke in us the deepest love and worship of Him, who is our last and greatest Hope. “For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day” (2Timothy 1:12). Arise, O LORD, and shake us out of our deep slumber. Cause us to be more concerned about losing the smile upon Your face toward us than our meager ability to remember where we misplaced our keys. You are so much more valuable than anything we may possess. Bless Yourself and honor Your name. Return quickly and deliver Your people. In Jesus’ name, we ask it. Amen.
