Ezekiel 14:21-23 For thus saith the Lord God; How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast? Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth, both sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and their doings: and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought upon it. And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings: and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord God.

There is within scriptures the prophetic utterances of those things done and those things to be done. When we look about this present world and the circumstances of prophetic scriptures we might very well wonder which is it at this time?

Nothing says it has to be, but then again, nothing says it cannot be done. So many times we have heard men of faith make a call for repentance and the turning of nations unto God. More often than not their warnings went unanswered as nations. Perhaps there was a remnant that heeded and that was enough. Who can say? Surely not I for I know not the hearts of other men.

The larger question is that if you can see a correlation between prophetic scriptures and these present times, does if change your attitude, does it change your heart, does it change your course of actions? If there is to be a remnant for this present age, will you be part of it?

The Word says the remnant is to shine forth in a dark place and comfort those to whom they appear. Are you ready to be a remnant or do you need to change? I seek to answer that question for myself.

Psalm 42:4 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.

Psalm 42 is a great psalm about the affliction of the soul but here in verse 4 is light. His memory takes him to a place of shared experience with people. This is at the heart of remembering.

This past week while my brother-in-law lay in bed he talked about a friend. “You remember Charles. He was with us when you were having that great round of golf.” My memory was stirred by the experience we shared together. He was right, that was the best round of golf I have ever played, ever.

What made it memorable was that he had an emergency call from work and had to leave. I never finished that round. I didn’t not get to score my best round ever. I quit in the middle of it. Now mind you I could have finished that round but to what end? I would not have been able t share it with my best friend.

It is people that make things memorable, not events. You can recount endless events in your life or things too wonderful to imagine but without someone to share them with they lose the luster in the telling. People make memories shine, they give light to life.

Luke 24:13-15 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. And they talked together of all these things which had happened. And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.

What really made it memorable was being together, for where two or more are gathered, He is there.
