When God Remembers

November 17, 2008 by Christina

The phrase “God remembers” is mentioned 73 times in the Bible. Each time that “God remembers” He acts on behalf of someone according to His covenant promises. These actions are often miracles, and they are awesome displays of the loving-kindness of an Almighty God whose tender mercies are new every morning.

In Genesis 9:16, God remembers Noah and sends the rainbow as a sign of His everlasting covenant. God remembers Rachel when He opened her womb (Genesis 30:22). God remembers His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob when the Hebrew people were groaning in their captivity (Exodus 2:24-25). In 1 Samuel 1:24, God remembers Hanna and hears the unspoken cry in her tears.

It’s a peculiar notion to think that God remembers. If God remembers, does it mean that He forgot? One of the definitions of the word “remember” is to mention (a person) to another as sending kindly greetings; such as when I ask that someone “remember me” in their prayers.

Hebrews 7:25 states, “Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.” In this case, an Omniscient God “remembers” us because a faithful Jesus is there to keep us in the Father’s mind. In other words, Jesus is continually there to “remember” us to the Father. What an amazing thought. When I am too weak to pray for myself I can utter – even a silent plea to Jesus: Oh Lord, remember me to the Father.


Romans 8:34 states that Jesus – at this very moment, is at the right hand of the Father interceding for us. Imagine that? The only one with the power to condemn you is actually continually reminding God of His loving-kindness towards you.  He is perpetually bringing to memory every covenant promise that God has made to you that is “Yes” in Christ Jesus. (2 Corinthians 1:20).  He’s saying good things about you!

Today, no matter what trouble or hardship you are facing; whatever secret longing is heavy on your heart; whatever miracle you need, be at peace – and know that Jesus is remembering you to the Father.

My intercessor is my friend as my eyes pour out tears to God.
(Job 16:20).
