2Timothy 2:8 - RIGHT Memory & RIGHT Perspective

What we REMEMBER & our PERSPECTIVE on our MEMORY become significant integral parts of who we are,& what we are.This is why so many times in the Bible, God encourages us to be deliberate about remembering RIGHTLY,& making sure that we feed our memory with TRUTH!Paul knows this,and in 2Timothy2:8,Paul says to young Timothy,”Remember Jesus Christ,the offspring of David,as preached in my gospel,for which I am suffering,bound w chains as a criminal.BUT the Word of God(TRUTH) is not bound!”.Satan knows the significance of the condition of our memory and the many ways that this can devastatingly impact our lives! Satan does not want us to be mindful of how significantly important MEMORY is,nor the importance of having a RIGHT MEMORY fed and shaped by TRUTH.Satan has a long history of learning&knowing this & leveraging this,& therefore he has been infiltrating TRUTH with webs of deceptive lies for so long that RIGHT MEMORY & RIGHT PERSPECTIVE have been tainted and twisted to the point that RIGHT TRUTH is unrecognizable most of the time...& we have come to have our lives founded on UNtruths!When this happens in our lives,we have elements in the foundation of our lives that will rot us from the inside,&not stand the tests of time and challenges->(Matthew7:24-27,”Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”).So,Paul tells us to go to the BEDROCK of remembering WHO Jesus is,&where HE came from...through the line of Judah via David,born of of a virgin,immaculately conceived through miraculous intervention by The Father God,living a PERFECT RIGHTEOUS life...taking on the GUILT of SIN for ALL & paying the ultimate penalty of ALL SIN...then conquering death for all who receive HIS PROVISION for ETERNAL LIFE & THE GRACE that provides for every PROMISE of GOD that HE writes in HIS WORD!These TRUTHS are so significant that they must be the foundational elements of every part of shaping our minds/hearts/lives->who and what we are in the process of becoming!HIS Mercy and Grace must not only be received by us,but we must seek to have HIS Mercy & Grace become the shaper of MEMORY TRUTH in our lives,as well as what bathes our memories so they do not become roots of bitterness,regret,envy,and many other types of toxicity in our mind/heart/life.In many social circles,whenever you take a stand for a TRUTH in The Word of God,&/or a Godly ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE...,you may be ridiculed or mocked by many others,making it even more challenging to have our MEMORY & our PERSPECTIVE ON MEMORY shaped by TRUTH.Paul encourages us to bathe our memory with The Truths in the Bible,& The Mercy and Grace of Jesus Christ....so we will be freed from the toxicity of wrong memory and unhealthy memory perspectives, bathed by God’s Eternal Truths,especially HIS Mercy and Grace!Dear Lord,take all of my thoughts and memories....and may Your Truths wash them and shape them by Your Mercy and Grace...so all toxic elements from them are changed by the Power of Your Promises....and I become freed from the deceptions of bitterness,regret,envy,and many other types of toxicity in my mind/heart/life.
