DAILY READINGS: 1 Chronicles 29; Ezekiel 26; John 9:18-41

God remembered Noah, and every living thing…and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged. Genesis 8:1

“Lest we forget” is the often-repeated phrase on this day. A time to remember those who died for freedom. Although, the armistice signed at the 11'th hour on the 11'th day of the 11'th month was to finish the “war to end all wars,” this sadly has not been the case. The Bible is a book of remembrance and this verse is the first time remember is mentioned. It must have seemed an interminable length of time, but God still remembered Noah and his family. The fury of the storm beat on the ark, but the occupants were safe, because God remembered. Thank God He no longer remembers “our sins and iniquities,” (Hebrews 10:17). —James Comte

Lest I forget Gethsemane; lest I forget Thine agony;
Lest I forget Thy love for me, lead me to Calvary. —J. E. Hussie
