God's Book of Remembrance

Malachi 3: 16  Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.
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!

Somebody Has Said
 Did you hear about the banker who was recently arrested for embezzling $100,000 to pay for his daughter's college education?   As the policeman, who also had a daughter in college, was leading him away in handcuffs, he said to the banker, "I have just one question for you. Where were you going to get the rest of the money?"     

Keep Looking Up!
