NISAN 3
Remembrance
“I remember the deeds of Yah, For I remember
Your wonders of old. And I shall meditate on all Your work, And talk of Your
deeds.” (Ps 11:11-12)
There are those occasions when it IS a good thing to remember the journey, the route we have
taken to reach the place where we are today.
When we find ourselves in the middle of an especially dry season with
our Elohim, we need to encourage ourselves, as King David did (see 1Sam 30:6)
and rehearse the times in the past when our Creator was faithful to us. To remember how Elohim Avinu, Elohim our Father, stood by us in the times of
trouble, how He delivered us from the snare of the fowler (Ps 91:3), how He
healed us, comforted us, and walked with us through
“the valley of the shadow of death” (Ps 23) will always be a source of
encouragement to us.
We also need to speak to each other of
these things – this is what ‘test-imonies’
are – and as we rehearse and recount the many victories we have had, our faith increases, from faith to faith. Praise will rise and become a sweet aroma in
the nostrils of our Creator and King.
Our Elohim is enthroned on the
praises of His people, Yisra’el (Ps 22:3), and He is a rewarder of those who
earnestly seek Him (Heb 11:6). He is the El-Shaddai,
the All-Sufficient, All-Mighty One, the One who is more than enough. (Gen 17:1).
“Therefore encourage one another, and build
up one another, as indeed you do.” (1The 5:11 ISR)
“And let us be concerned for one another in
order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves
together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging, and so much more as you see
the Day coming near.” (Heb 10:24-25, emphasis mine)
