Oftentimes, we ask God for something, and because it doesn’t come immediately, if we’re not careful, we forget what we asked. Then when it shows up, we don’t recognize it. Depending on what we’re facing, many of us fall into one of the categories below:

When things are going well – I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well (Psalms 139:14).

During times of testing and trials – My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me… (Psalms 22:1)?

MESSAGE: God does not change His mind! He’s not fickle (we are). If He said it, then That Settles It!

Don’t just take my word for it…

God addressed Mary as “Highly favored and blessed among women.” Even though I am sure she probably didn’t feel that way at the time – trying to figure out how to tell people she is a virgin who will give birth to the Messiah (Luke 1:28).

Gideon, saw himself as “the least in his father’s house,” yet God called him “Mighty man of valor.” He went on to defeat a massive army with only 300 men (Judges 6 & 7).

Jesus told Peter “Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Please note: That did not change, not even after Peter denied Him. Remember, Peter went on to preach at Pentecost and about 3,000 souls were saved that day (Matthew 16:18; Luke 22; Acts 2).

And we dare not forget Jesus, whom God introduced to the world as “My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased” – and we know what Jesus suffered after this; but we also know He Reigns (Read Matthew 3:17).

What I want you to take away is: You are who God says you are – even when you don’t feel like it – even when your situation doesn’t look like it – Remember Your Name.

And because I am a Realist – if you just can’t seem to Remember Your Name, then Remember His Name:

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:9-11).

Remember, if God said it, then That Settles It.
