God's Memorials

“God said … I AM THAT I AM …The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.”  ~ Exodus 3:14-15

Let us give Thanks unto our Lord Jesus Christ for all the soldiers who have served and those who have given their life in our Country throughout the many years of America’s Freedom.  It is sincerely a time to Let Freedom ring! Not just as someone who is patriotic but also as a Liberated Christian! It is truly a day of Memorials. Heaven is filled with the warriors who have died for freedom and it is filled with our loved ones; a grand reunion awaits the Day of the Lord, when we will be together at the Bridegrooms Table in Eternity! Today we focus on God’s Memorials as set forth in His Holy Word, He is the God of Memorials! The Old Testament is full of Memorials, some 32 mentions of His Memorials. To name a few:  It is first recorded in Ex. 3:15 He tells us “My Name is forever, and this is My Memorial unto all generations.”  In Ex. 28:29 “Aaron shall bear the names of the Children of Israel in his breastplate when he goeth into the Holy Place, for a Memorial before the Lord continually.” God remembers Israel! Esther 9:29 “these days of Purim should not fail among the Jews, nor the Memorial of them …”  This is the day that God used Esther to save His Chosen Jews. The Psalmist records [135:13] “Thy Name, O Lord, endureth forever; and Thy Memorial, O Lord, throughout all generations.” Hosea 12:5-6 “Even the Lord God of hosts; the Lord is our Memorial. Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep Mercy … and wait on thy God continually.” Joshua was commanded to place stones in the waters of Jordan as a Memorial that the waters were cut off before the Ark of the Covenant, this was to be remembered forever!  And in the New Testament Jesus said of the women who poured oil upon Him; “Wherever this Gospel is preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this women has done, be told for a Memorial of her.” Matt. 26:13 -this is recorded twice in the Bible. Perhaps you have wondered in some crisis, where is God – He remembers you!  He is a God of Remembrance!  Loving everyone of you and keeping you in Prayer, Pastor
