God Always Remembers

God Always Remembers

The message is really about intervention. God’s intervention in our lives.

The times we cry to Him, He hears and moves to meet our need. Sometimes He intervenes for us, and others, because of prayer. Our prayers, and others.

There are times when God will move the world around us to make sure we walk the path of our destiny. In many of these times we never even know it.

There are many Godly interventions throughout the Bible. A very serious one occurred 6 chapters into the Bible.

Genesis 6:1-8 NASB

1 Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them,

2 that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.

3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”

4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

6 The Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.

7 The Lord said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them.”

8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.

“God looked and looked for a reason not to destroy.”

Several generations later God’s people found themselves in bondage to an Egyptian king. The next few passages tell an amazing story of His love.

Exodus 2:23-25 NASB

23 Now it came about in the course of those many days that the king of Egypt died. And the sons of Israel sighed because of the bondage, and they cried out; and their cry for help because of their bondage rose up to God.

24 So God heard their groaning; and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

25 God saw the sons of Israel, and God took notice of them.

If you read from the beginning of this chapter Moses had been born, grown up, and was hiding in Midian.

God had already begun the process of intervention in answer to the cries of His people.

Why? Because He remembered His promise!

This represents the awesome love of God!

In 1^st Corinthians 10, Paul was teaching about all the mistakes and failures of the children of Israel. Teaching from the Scrolls of the Old Testament. “He was explaining why these things were written.”

1 Corinthians 10:11-13 NASB

11 Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.

12 Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed that he does not fall. 

13 No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.

^Verse13 plainly tells us that God will intervene against the attack of our enemy. Tempting us to turn away from Christ.

The phrase take heed means, “to see with the mind’s eye. To have the power of understanding.” The word temptation means, “the trial of man’s fidelity, integrity, virtue, and constance.” The word tempted is referring to, “the attempt or the endeavor to tempt.”

We need to discern the opportunities presented us, before we find ourselves in the middle of a bad situation.

Just some thoughts about the greatest intervention of all time.

This intervention was very broad. It went back in time to the garden. It moved forward in time to today, and will continue throughout eternity.

It was an intervention that carried a huge cost for God.

Let me read the words of Simeon in the temple.

Luke 2:30-32 NASB

30 For my eyes have seen Your salvation,
31 Which You have prepared in the presence of all peoples,
32 A Light of revelation to the Gentiles, And the glory of Your people Israel.”
