Think on me…and make mention of me unto Pharaoh. Genesis 40:14
Joseph had interpreted the chief butler’s dream. In recompence, he asked that the butler might remember him to Pharaoh. But after gaining his liberty, the butler forgot Joseph. Two years later (Gen. 41:1), when he remembered, he confessed, “I do remember my faults this day” (Gen. 41:9), after having left Joseph in prison for two additional years! The Lord Jesus asked us to remember Him this Lord’s day. “This do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me” (1 Cor. 11:25). Are we remembering Him or our faults? —K. C. Ung
Remember Thee, and all Thy pains,
And all Thy love to me;
Yea, while a breath, a pulse remains,
Will I remember Thee. —James Montgomery
