Put Me in Remembrance. What does this mean in our Father's Word?
alisicia
Our Father re-assures us everyday, that we don't have a thing to worry
about IF we study his word, and obey his commands.
He is our kinsman redeemer, He knows all about us. Even when we
fall, he is still there looking upon us.
I guess he looks at some of us and says to himself, look at that
yungin of mine, messing up, and thinking I don't already know. I'm
gonna wait and see what he/she is going to say when they need my help.
Our Father is very patient
Those of you wo have children, know what I mean. lol! Those of you
thinking about having children. Take Heed!
So, let's go to the book of: Isaiah Chapter 43.
Isaiah 43: 1-21, Our Father is speaking to his people, letting them
know his love for them, and what he has done for them, because they
are a special people to him. He reminds them of what he has done for
them in the past, and what he is going to do for them in the future.
He let's them know that they are a witnesses, to Who He is, and What
He has done. (When we study His Word). Please read it.
Isaiah vs 23-24, Now! they have started to mess up!
They started to worship other gods!
Are you listening to fales teachings, ready to fly up out of here!
Your house, your car, love that money? Don't even stop to Thank Him,
for what little you do have!
He's upset!
Isaiah 43:25 I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for
mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
Isaiah gave us the prophecy 600 years before it came to pass, that
Jesus Christ would become the lamb slain on the cross, for our sins.
He wants you to repent, with a changed heart, and he will not remember
it any more. He will blot it out!
Ok now let's find out what he means by this in:
Isaiah 43:26 Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare
thou, that thou mayest be justified.
I'm thinking, remind him of what? I know I messed up. Hold on now!
Let's check out the Hebrew dictionary.

Whew! sounded kinda scary didn't it?
"Put Me in remembrance" comes along with repentance, and also a part
of the forgiveness.
First you repent for those sins, and then after you have repented, God
wants you to remind Him of those promises that He has made to you.
This is not for his sake, but for your sake. After you have repented
and he pats you on your head, (you must do it in Jesus's name) then
you are in right standing before the Father, and He exspects you to
ask for the blessings. He requires you to ask.
If it is his will for you, then he will answer you, when he is ready,
not when You think he should answer. He may have something even
better for you!
If it is not what is going to be good for you, he will show you why
it's not good for you.
This is why God is telling you to "put me in remembrance:" ask of me,
remind me.
He loves you, talk to him, don't go to any man or woman, seeking
God's help!
How do I know this? First, I repented in the Name of Jesus. Then I
put our Father in remembrance, of his promises, and right now I'm
waiting for His answer.

Matt
Isaiah 43-44 foretells the deliverance of Israel from exile in
Babylon. Within that broader narrative, Is 43:22-28 is an aside,
reminding God's people that while God is always faithful, the people
brought suffering upon themselves by disobeying God.
Below is the NRSV translation of Is 43:26; other modern translations
are similar:
"Accuse me, let us go to trial;
set forth your case, so that you may be proved right"
Essentially, God (speaking through Isaiah) is anticipating that the
people will reject blame for their own suffering, and will instead
blame God. By challenging the people to blame Him, God reveals the
folly of those who would do so.
What does this verse say to us today? Before we can accept the
salvation Christ won for us, we must first accept condemnation. We
can simultaneously rely on God's grace and on our image of ourselves
as "good people." (In his Ethics, Dietrich Bonhoeffer expresses this
idea more completely and eloquently than I can.)
Peace.

Matt
Need to fix a typo-- we CANNOT rely simultaneously on God's grace, and
on our image of ourselves as "good people."
Sorry.
