REMEMBER


Then the LORD said to Moses, "Write this on a scroll as something to be
remembered and make sure that Joshua hears it, because I will completely
blot out the name of Amalek from under heaven."

Joshua led the Israeli army in the fight against their long-time enemies,
the Amalekites. Moses went up to the top of the nearby hill. As long as his
hands were held up, the Israelis were winning. When he grew tired of holding
up his hands, he sat on a rock and Aaron and Hur each held up one of Moses'
arms till sunset when Joshua finally overcame the enemy.

The Lord instructs this event to be "remembered." It was to be written
down-the first time in scripture-as a permanent reminder. God's people are
explicitly called to remember both God's deliverance and His judgment of the
wicked.

he Bible records a number of events that people remembered. After Jacob's
dream at Bethel, he used the stone pillow on which he slept as a pillar of
remembrance. After the Israelis finally crossed the Jordan River into the
Promised Land, they took twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan and set
them up as a memorial about which they were to tell their children.
Memorials help us to remember what God has done and enable us to trust Him
for the future.

Esdras is a church leader in southern Mexico. He is also a lawyer and
therefore is able to stand up for the rights of many indigenous people who
are persecuted for their Christian faith.

He will always remember a significant event when God's protection was
evident. He says, "I was visiting in Mitziton, an area where more than half
of the community are Christians. The authorities wanted to turn two hundred
Christians out of their homes and drive them out of the town. I intervened
and was able to prevent them from having to leave. After this, I was
publicly threatened with death. That day I was not able to return to my
hometown and we spent the night in the home of a Christian. It was outside
the town and there were no houses nearby.

"At about eleven o'clock in the evening, a strange sensation came over me.
Something seemed wrong, but I didn't know what the matter was. At a quarter
to twelve, two trucks turned up with twelve men. They were heavily armed
with guns. I was completely alone with Marilene and our little baby. That
day, we happened not to have any connection to the radio or mobile phone. I
couldn't phone anyone and there was no chance of calling for help. The
attackers came closer and closer. They called out, 'Now we've got him. He
can't get away now. Now we're going to shoot him dead.'

"Suddenly something unexpected happened. The gardener, an old man who lived
in the grounds, turned on the lights around the house. I hadn't asked him to
do anything. When the attackers saw all those lighted lamps, they cried,
'Where have all those guards come from?'

"They slunk off and we were spared. Maybe they saw angels, who had come to
guard us." Esdras now travels the world and remembers publicly God's great
deliverance.

RESPONSE: Today I will commit to remember the acts of God in my life and
record them for the future.

PRAYER: Thank You, Lord, for remembrance days we have of Your blessings and
Your deliverance.
