“According to Harvard Health Publishing, there are seven basic factors that causes memory slips. These are the following: lack of sleep, medications, a faltering thyroid, alcohol, stress, anxiety & depression.
Though most of these are symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease, all of these are curable. When it comes to the God of whom we worship, He doesn’t have any memory slips at all. God is omniscient. Wayne Grudem defined God’s mental attribute in this way: God fully knows Himself & all things actual & possible in one simple & eternal act.
These are the things that He will surely remember:
*Our labor of love to the brethren- “God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.”-Heb.6:10
*Our support to His servants- “And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward.”-Matt.10:42
*Our compassion to the poor- “Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward them for what they have done.”- Prov.19:17
*Our love-relationship with Him- “I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance…Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first.”-Rev.2:2,4 There is only one thing that God will choose to forget & that is all the sins we surrendered at the cross of Christ. Hebrews 8:12 declares,”For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.”
You are remembered in prayer today.
