This morning as I was praying about what to share with you,
I simply heard God say, “Remind them…” Okay, God, what do you want me to remind
them of? And He said, “Remind them who I am…” So today is about encouraging you
to remember who God is and what He has said concerning you.
You see, a reminder is a message or communication designed
to ensure that someone remembers something. Sometimes when your circumstances
get really hard, you need someone to remind you that you will make it. When
your symptoms are flaring up and you find it hard to remember your faith, you
need someone to remind you that you are healed. When your bank account is empty
and you have no check on the way, you need someone to remind you that you are
provided for. Well, today, God wants you to remember who He is. He wants you to
remember that He’s the God that met the Israelites at the Red Sea. He wants you
to remember that He’s the God whose eyes go to and fro in the earth looking for
those that He can show Himself strong for. He wants you to remember that He’s the
God that saw you before you were in your mother’s womb and knew that you would
be great. Today, He wants to remind you of who He is.
It’s interesting that God is asking me to remind you about
who He is because a majority of Rhema readers are already strong Christians.
You know how to pray and how to seek His face. But God said to me that you are
the ones that need it most. You are the one that pours out the encouragement to
everyone else. You are the one that fasts and intercedes on the behalf of others.
You are the one that people ask for advice and wisdom. But you are also the one
that struggles to believe for yourself. You are the one that the enemy
constantly attacks in your mind and in your body. You are the one that has had
to endure hurt and betrayal because of your calling. So today, God is reminding
YOU that He is with you. He is reminding
YOU that He is for you. He is reminding YOU that He has your concerns before
Him and your name written in His palm.
“Have you not known?
Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of
the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; His understanding is unsearchable.”
(Is. 40:28, ESV) Sometimes when issues and situations go on for a long time,
you can get concerned that God has forgotten your plight. But the word says
that He doesn’t grow weary or faint. He is the great God that stays with you
until the end. “It is the Lord who goes
before you. He will be with you; He will not leave you or forsake you. Do not
fear or be dismayed.” (Deut. 31:8). God is reminding you that you don’t
have to be afraid or concerned. He is with you and for you!
Don’t you love that God wants you to keep His promises at
the forefront of your mind? Don’t you love that you serve a God that wants you
to remember who He is so the enemy can’t stop you. Don’t you love that you
serve Elohim, the almighty God? So as I’m closing, the Lord gave me this last
passage to give you. I pray that it reminds and encourages you of where you
stand in Him. I don’t care what you are facing. Grief, unemployment, stress,
betrayal, loneliness, divorce, financial struggle…God is a present help in your
situation and He wants you to always remember who He is. He’s big enough for
every challenge or test. “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t
be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right
hand. “See, all your angry enemies lie there, confused and humiliated. Anyone
who opposes you will die and come to nothing.
You will look in vain for those who tried to conquer you. Those who attack
you will come to nothing. For I hold you by your right hand—I, the Lord
your God. And I say to you, ‘Don’t be afraid. I am here to help you.” (Is.
41:10-14, NLT)
Remember who He is…AMEN
