REMEMBER WHO God Is

 Israel was to be a NATION under God. They were to be a NATION who trusted God. They were to be a NATION who walked in His ways and kept His commandments as an example to the surrounding Gentile nations. And the Lord knew that the best way for Israel to walk in His ways and keep His commands, was to witness to the world of His goodness and His grace. If Israel told the world of the promised Messiah it would help them to REMEMBER WHO God is and NEVER FORGET WHAT He has done for them.
 Christians, in this dispensation of grace, should learn whatever lessons God has to teach us from Israel's experience. We should learn what God wants to teach us we should be careful not to repeat Israel's mistakes. We should REMEMBER WHO God is. We should NEVER FORGET WHAT He has done for us. We should heed His Word and be ready to tell others of the hope that we have in Him.
I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word, the truths and encouragement that it contains. We see that You were faithful to Israel, despite their many failings, and rejoice to know that You will remain faithful to all who are called by Your name in this Church dispensation. We pray that You would use us in these dark and difficult times, when the world seems to be spiraling out of control, and may we never forget that You are a faithful God Who keeps His promises to a thousand generations. Thank You in Jesus' name, AMEN.
