REMEMBER THE LORD.

August 16

Nehemiah 4:14 

And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, 

and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, 

Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, 

which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren,

 your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses. 

He is the great author of your being, and the only proper object of your faith, fear, and worship.

Remember the promises He has made, the deliverances He has wrought, the blessings He has conferred, the invitation He has given, and the relations He now fills.

Remember Him in calamity, to trust Him; in prosperity, to praise Him; in danger to call upon Him; in difficulty, to expect His interference.

Remember to obey His commands; to attend His exhortations; to keep His company; to seek His blessings; and the aim at His glory in all you do.

Remember Him, for it is your duty; it is your privilege.

Remember Him, in order to strengthen your faith; as an antidote to your fears; as a source of encouragement to your souls; as a preventative to sin.

Remember He is holy, just, and good; and He will be glorified in all them that draw nigh unto Him, Whatever or whoever you forget always “REMEMBER THE LORD.”

He is your life, your strength, your food, your portion, your God, your all.

Remember Him, for He never forgets you; cleave to Him, for He will never forsake you; live for Him, for He loves you.

Oh, may I still from sin depart!

A wise and understanding heart,

Jesus to me be given!

And let me through Thy Spirit know

To glorify my God below,

And find my way to heaven.

James Smith
