“Remember”
Reference: Psalms Chapter 9
Just as man has five physical senses, God has also given man six spiritual senses.
Physically, we have the sense of seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling, and tasting.
Spiritually, we have the sense of free-will, faith, sub-conscience, thought, feeling, and memory.
The memory of the child of God is for one thing and one thing only. It’s to remember the Word and Work of God.
Our memory is not for our past or current problems, difficulties, and accusations. God gave man a memory to remember His Word and His Work.
When we remember the Word and Work of God, praise is immediately elicited. Praise is an immediate reaction to remembering the Word and Work of God.
David remembers.
Let’s read:
Psalm 9:1 “I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.”
We praise Him with everything in us when we remember His marvelous work on the Cross. How He redeemed us, destroying the powers of darkness, making an opened shame of Satan the enemy.
His marvelous work is what remains in our memory.
We continue our reading:
Psalm 9:2-3 “I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High. [3] When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.”
The Enemy fell and perished at His presence on the Cross. The finished work of Christ is what stays in our memory. This is what brings constant joy to us, and praises unto God.
We continue our reading:
Psalm 9:4-13 “For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right. [5] Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever. [6] O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them. [7] But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment. [8] And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness. [9] The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. [10] And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. [11] Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings. [12] When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble. [13] Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:”
The gate of death is lifted at the Cross. He defeated every enemy including death.
John 5:24 “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
The child of God in Christ no longer fears death for we have passed from death unto eternal life.
We continue our reading:
Psalm 9:14 “That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.”
We rejoice in His salvation when we remember what He has done on the Cross. He saved as spiritually and physically.
Isaiah 53:5 “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”
He saved us spiritually from sin, and physically from diseases, with the ultimate disease being death. We are saved from all diseases, even death. We just simply have to accept our salvation spiritually and physically by faith in the finished work of Christ.
We conclude our reading:
Psalm 9:15-20 “The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken. [16] The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. [17] The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. [18] For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever. [19] Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight. [20] Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.”
We remember His promised Word and marvelous work. It is His Word and Work that puts the unbeliever (heathen) in fear.
Sin (unbelief) is what puts men and women in fear. Faith in the finished work of Christ is the answer to fear.
We know where we are coming from. He called us into His marvelous light even before the foundation of the world.
We know where we are going. We have eternal life which is the life of God in us. We cannot die just as God cannot die. There is therefore no room for fear.
Let the Word and Work of God be the only thing in our memory. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Word as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. His marvelous Work and Word, in Christ!
