http://about-him.com/ God's Book of Remembrance 17 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. A book of remembrance was written - Popular thought makes fun of the concept of God sitting up in heaven with pen and paper putting a check mark against your name for every misdeed. We used to sing "There's An All Seeing Eye Watching You." That song and concept is not mentioned very much in this time of easy believism and cheap grace. Sorry, but God is watching and God is keeping a record in His book of rememberance. He has promised to reward both the good and the evil (Psalms 33:18, 34:15; Proverbs 15:3; I Peter 3:12) . When we speak of His goodness, he is listening and He is recording. When we as much as give a cup of water in His name, it goes on the record (Mark 9:41). When we do a good deed to another, it is written down as though we have done it unto Him (Matthew 25:40). They shall be mine - An absolute guarantee from an absolute God. You have been chosen (Deuteronomy 7:6; Jeremiah 32:38; Psalms 135:4; 1 Peter 2:9). God has put His claim of ownership and seal of approval upon you because you fear Him, believe Him, obey Him and share His goodness to all with whom you come in contact. You are His jewel and you will be spared in the day of His wrath. Most of all, we have the promise of eternity with Him (Jeremiah 32:38; John 10:28; Matthew 25:34; I John 3:2). It won't be long, so Keep Looking Up! Keep Looking Up! Don and Marie Spooner About Him! Ministries Your thoughts and Inquiries Contact@about-him.com Subscribe to this devotional?
