The Daily Devotion

Psalm 102: You will arise and have mercy and loving-kindness for Zion, for it is time to have pity and compassion for her; yes, the set time has come [the moment designated]. (v.13)

While I was preparing for a recent surgery, my mother shared with me that early one morning the Lord spoke into her spirit, “And God remembered Amanda.” If it sounds familiar, it’s because that phrase is used in Genesis—“And God [earnestly] remembered Noah” (8:1) and “Then God remembered Rachel” (30:22). It doesn’t mean that He had forgotten them. It means that He was about to do something in their lives—something powerful, wonderful and miraculous. The Sovereign Lord declared that it was the perfect time. Are you waiting? Like me, have you been waiting a long time? Are you discouraged? Are you starting to doubt the promises of God? Hold on. Your day of deliverance, your day of healing, your day of victory has a set time. The promises of God are not hoaxes or pipe dreams. They are promises from a covenant-keeping God, a God of truth, and a faithful God. Don’t give up. Your day is set. Your moment is designated. Keep believing. Stand fast. And one day, at the perfect time…and God remembered…you.
