His book of remembrance

In Psalms 56, David is praying and asking for relief. He believes God knows and has plans to redeem him and then he ask a question about “His book of remembrance”.

Even then (1100 bc) David knew God was recording everything, every deed of righteousness was to be immortalized. That we would also know every temptation resisted, every evil overcome, every word of tender pity expressed. All was faithfully chronicled from the beginning. And He would have every act of sacrifice for Christ sake written, for our benefit.

Isaiah recorded these same thoughts in 34:16 “Search the book of the Lord” which later Malachi writes as the ” book of remembrance” in chapter 3:16.

And it was written for those who fear(respect) the Lord and who meditate on His name. As soon as He writes this the Lord God Himself says to him “They shall be mine”.

So those who read and meditate on His word are jewels for God?! And He will spare them, like a father who spares his own son who serves him.

This is good news for all who come stumbling along through the word hoping to learn and trust what they read.

God has great plans in for those who draw near to Him in His book of remembrance – this is why we should be HAPPY to read it!

*Always Pray before you read His Word so that you will see what He has for YOU, we are all on the same path but light is something He decides for where we are in our understanding. He is the best teacher and will guide you in your own understanding.

But first pray.
