The Memory of Amalek

Thursday, July 29, 2021

After coming out of Egypt, Israel was attacked by the Amalekites and forced to fight its first battle. God said a strange thing afterwards. He said, "Write it on a scroll as a memorial... I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek." What is God saying? Does God want Amalek's memory blotted out or not? God wants the evil of Amalek blotted out. But Israel is to remember the miracle, the redemption, and the victory that God gave them over Amalek. That's the way God wants you to deal with the enemy's attacks on your life. Don't dwell on the bad that happened, but remember the good that came out of it. That's the whole point. In Revelation, God will wipe away all tears, and yet we see a Lamb who was slain; we will still see the wounds of Messiah. So never forget what Messiah did; how he turned your tears into joy and your failures in to redemption. Forget the pain of Amalek, but remember the victory, the miracle, and the blessings that God brought into your life, when he blotted out Amalek.
