Remember therefore how thou hast received

As I was reading in Revelation chapter 3, the words of Jesus to the church at Sardis, I contemplated what the Lord said in regards to remembering what I have received from Him and holding fast to it. Listen to what He says here in Revelation 3:3: "Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee."

The dictionary says that to remember is to have in or be able to bring to one's mind an awareness of (someone or something that one has seen, known, or experienced in the past).

This is a good opportunity for me to remember what Jesus has done for me, what He will do, and what He has taught me for daily living. How about you? Do you feel this way? It is good to remember.

Hebrews 2:1 reads: Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

And Peter wrote in 2 Peter 1:13: Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;

Also in 2 Peter 3:1: This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:

I invite you to remember what you have learned from Jesus. If you have not learned about the teachings of Jesus, I encourage you to start reading the Gospels in the New Testament. Actually, when one follows the teachings of Jesus, they kind of stand out. Why? Because the world is full of religious people who know not Christ.

Let us pray. God, thank You for sending Jesus to die for our sins and to teach us Your ways. Help us to stay on that Jesus highway of obedience as we wait for Your Son's return. Amen.

Jesus our refuge and dwelling place

When I reflect on this Psalm I think of Jesus being my "secret place of the most High" and my "refuge" and "dwelling place." I encourage you to look to Him right now.

Psalms 91:1-16  He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.”

For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence.

He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.

You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day;

nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday.

A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.

You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of the wicked.

Because you have made LORD your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,

no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.

For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways.

They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone.

You will tread on the lion and cobra. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.

“Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name.

He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honour him.

I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation.”

I will set him on high

Psalms 91:14 Because He has set His love upon me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name.

I love the fact that God not only delivers us but sets us on high! When I'm low, God will set me on high!

When I despair, God sets me on high!

Follower of Christ: think about the times God has done this for you. Be assured we serve a loving and mighty God.

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.

Don't fret. Look up with hope to your Heavenly Father. Seek Him out in prayer. Tell Him your problems and ask for His help.

Psalms 9:10

And they that know Your name will put their trust in You: for You, LORD, have not forsaken them that seek You.

Set your affections on things aboive

Colossians 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness. Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.

Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
