Remember and Proclaim

 

Scripture:  “You yourselves have seen everything the Lord your God has done to all these nations for your sake; it was the Lord your God who fought for you. Remember … the Lord your God fights for you, just as he promised. So be very careful to love the Lord your God.  Every promise has been fulfilled; not one has failed.”  Joshua 23:3-4a, 10b, 11, 14b

 

“You are my King and my God … you give us victory over our enemies, you put our adversaries to shame.  In God we make our boast all day long, and we will praise your name forever.”  Psalm 44:4a, 7a-8

 

“For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.”  In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.”  I Corinthians 11:23-26

 

This came from our daily reading in Joshua 23, Psalm 44:1-8 and 1 Corinthians 11

 

Observation/Application:  This weekend is a time that many set aside to remember everything the Lord has done for us and how He has fought for us through his death, burial and resurrection.  Everything the Lord said would happen did.  Let us love and praise and boast in Him this weekend and always!

 

Prayer:  Father in Heaven, thank you for the gift of Your son and his body and blood that was broken and spilled out for us.  We praise You because without this gift we are nothing!  Let us remember and proclaim everything that You have done for us and for Your faithful word and bringing everything to pass that You said You would.  We look forward to the final resurrection when we will be with You forever!  Through Christ and His atoning work on the cross we pray.  Amen & Amen
