Leviticus 26:40-45
26:40 However, when
they confess their iniquity and their ancestors’ iniquity which they committed by trespassing against me,
by which they also walked
in hostility against me
26:41 (and I myself will walk in hostility against them and bring them into the land of their enemies), and
then their uncircumcised hearts become humbled and they make up for
their iniquity,
26:42 I will remember my covenant with Jacob and also my covenant with Isaac and also my covenant with Abraham,
and I will remember the land.
26:43 The land will be abandoned by them
in order that it may make up for
its Sabbaths while it is made desolate
without them,
and they will make up for their iniquity because
they have rejected my regulations and have abhorred
my statutes.
26:44 In spite of this, however, when they are in the land of their enemies I will not reject them and abhor them to make a complete end of them, to break my covenant with them, for I am the
Lord their God.
26:45 I will remember for them the covenant with their ancestors
whom I brought out from the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations to be their God. I am the
Lord.’”
Deuteronomy 4:30-31
4:30 In your distress when all these things happen to you in the latter days,
if you return to the
Lord your God and obey him
4:31 (for he
is a merciful God), he will not let you down
or destroy you, for he cannot
forget the covenant with your ancestors that he confirmed by oath to them.
Psalms 25:6
25:6 Remember your compassionate and faithful deeds, O Lord,
for you have always acted in this manner.
Psalms 77:5-11
77:5 I thought about the days of old,
about ancient times.
77:6 I said, “During the night I will remember the song I once sang;
I will think very carefully.”
I tried to make sense of what was happening.
77:7 I asked, “Will the Lord reject me forever?
Will he never again show me his favor?
77:8 Has his loyal love disappeared forever?
Has his promise failed forever?
77:9 Has God forgotten to be merciful?
Has his anger stifled his compassion?”
77:10 Then I said, “I am sickened by the thought
that the sovereign One might become inactive.
77:11 I will remember the works of the Lord.
Yes, I will remember the amazing things you did long ago!
Psalms 89:47-50
89:47 Take note of my brief lifespan!
Why do you make all people so mortal?
89:48 No man can live on without experiencing death,
or deliver his life from the power of Sheol. (Selah)
89:49 Where are your earlier faithful deeds, O Lord,
the ones performed in accordance with your reliable oath to David?
89:50 Take note, O Lord, of the way your servants are taunted,
and of how I must bear so many insults from people!
Psalms 143:5
143:5 I recall the old days;
I meditate on all you have done;
I reflect on your accomplishments.
Luke 1:54-55
