In what ways can we remind God of His promises like Isaiah 62:6? The Picture in Isaiah 62:6–7 “On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have posted watchmen; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the LORD, give yourselves no rest, and give Him no rest until He establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth.” Why God Invites Us to “Remind” Him • God never forgets (Isaiah 49:15); inviting us to speak His promises back to Him trains our faith and perseverance. • Scripture shows faithful servants appealing to God’s own words— Moses (Exodus 32:13), David (2 Samuel 7:25), Daniel (Daniel 9:2-3). • “Remember Your word to Your servant, upon which You have given me hope.” (Psalm 119:49) Practical Ways to Remind God of His Promises • Speak the exact wording of a promise in prayer. – Example: quote Philippians 4:19 when asking for provision. • Pray the promise until peace replaces anxiety (Philippians 4:6-7). • Turn the promise into praise—thank Him in advance (Hebrews 13:15). • Journal the promise with the date and situation, then revisit it regularly. • Share the promise aloud in corporate worship or small groups (Psalm 22:22). • Sing Scripture‐based songs; melody helps truth take root (Colossians 3:16). • Fast while praying the promise, following Daniel’s pattern (Daniel 9:3). • Combine the promise with obedient action—Noah built the ark while believing (Hebrews 11:7). Attitudes That Strengthen Our Reminding • Persistence: “give yourselves no rest” (Isaiah 62:6). • Boldness: “Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence” (Hebrews 4:16). • Humility: acknowledge our need, never demanding as if entitled (Luke 18:13-14). • Expectancy: “He who promised is faithful” (Hebrews 10:23). What Happens When We Do • Our faith matures; we shift from fear to trust (Romans 10:17). • God’s glory is displayed as promises are fulfilled (John 14:13). • Others are encouraged by visible answers (Psalm 40:3). • Spiritual vigilance grows; we live like watchmen, alert and hopeful (1 Peter 5:8-10). Summary Checklist □ Identify a specific promise from Scripture. □ Personalize it: “Lord, You said…” □ Pray it repeatedly and reverently. □ Act in harmony with it. □ Record and rehearse God’s faithfulness. |
