God Remembers Us And Will Bless Us

Sunday November 29, 2020

The Psalms that we read and think about each Sunday are the ancient songbook of the church.  Today’s Psalm was written so that the people would remember and give thanks for the way God brought them out of slavery and exile.  For us, this Psalm has reminders that we can't take credit for our recovery – it is a gift from God who will restore us to sanity as we turn our will and our life over to His care.


You who have respect for the Lord, trust in him. He helps you like a shield that keeps you safe.  The Lord remembers us and will bless us. He will bless Israel, his people.  He will bless the priests of Aaron. The Lord will bless those who have respect for him. He will bless important and unimportant people alike. (Psalm 115:11, 13 NIRV)

 Everyone has a part to sing in this song of praise to God.  There are worship leaders who sing about how worthy God is of our trust and respect because He has rescued us and keeps us safe.  People can then sing about how God remembered them when they fell into trouble because of their own stubborn disobedience.  They remember God's unfailing love for them and the blessing given to them, not because they were rich or famous or got things right, but simply because He loved them. 

We often feel isolated and abandoned.  The reality is that even if others fail us, God's love is unfailing.  He is always attentive to our voice when we call out to Him.  Even when we are depressed or struggling, God will not forget us.  As we turn our minds towards Him, His blessing is available to us.  When we turn our will and our lives over to His care we are assured that God will meet all our needs.


 The song of praise ends with the priest/pastor singing a blessing over the people as He reminds them that God is their creator and also the creator of the heavens and the earth, and has all power to bless and keep them in perfect peace.  God, our creator, is the Higher Power who alone can restore us to the sanity of right living.

May the Lord bless you. He is the Maker of heaven and earth. The highest heavens belong to the Lord. But he has given the earth to human beings. (Psalm 115:15-16 NIRV)



Prayer:  Heavenly Father, Thank you for calling me out of the darkness of my addiction and inviting me to new life in You.  Continue to work in me so I live surrendered to Your will and Your ways in every circumstance I encounter.  Amen
