He provides food for those who fear him; he remembers his covenant forever. (Psalm 111:5)
What a word of comfort we have before us today. Our Redeemer remembers all of His promises to us even when we provoke Him to want to forget! Here is what we all need to remember: it is His faithfulness to us . . . not our faithfulness to Him that causes Him to remember all of His promises.
Our Redeemer remembers His promises to us and never regrets making them. He knows we are but dust and drift from time to time from our duties and devotions. Yet, He has promised to never forget or forsake us. He remembers to provide for us our daily bread. He remembers to meet us in our place of deepest need. He remembers to forgive us again and again. And He remembers to love us with an everlasting love. When God makes a promise, we can count on it because no weapon formed can cause our faithful Redeemer to let a single Word fall to the ground.
So, regardless of where this finds you today, remember your Redeemer who remembers every promise He has made to you. Do you have a need in your personal life – take it to your Redeemer who remembers. Do you have a need in your professional life – take it to your Redeemer who remembers. When you fear God, you have nothing else to fear for He has promised to meet all of your needs in the glorious riches of Christ Jesus.
One final word. Your Redeemer who remembers His promises to you will accomplish what He has promised but it often will not be in the way we expect. Our Redeemer knows the best way to fulfill His promises to us and He will always do for us what is best. Oh, the years have taught me as a pastor that when God does not meet our expectations, it’s because He is planning on exceeding them. Let that truth set you free.
This is the Gospel. This is grace for your race. NEVER FORGET THAT . . . AMEN!
Grace for the Race
