He Will Not Forget!
My first extended road trip was to Memphis, Tennessee, to attend the national convocation of the Churches of God in Christ. Worship services convened at Mason Temple, named in honor of Charles Harrison Mason, the founder of the Churches of God in Christ. Here, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his renowned “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” speech (It would be King’s last).
Bishop Mason’s entombed body lies within the building and engraved on his tomb are words from Hebrews 6:10, “For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love which ye shewed toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints.”
These Bible words encourage our hearts and remind us of several noteworthy truths about God. He is not unjust or, to put it another way, He can be trusted to do the right thing. Sooner or later people and systems will fail us, but the Judge of all the earth never fails. He will do right (see Genesis 18:25). The other amazing truth that encourages our hearts is that the Lord doesn’t suffer from amnesia; no memory loss with God! How assuring it is to know that the labors of faithful leaders like Bishop Mason and the diligent work of all who serve the Lord by serving people are deeply embedded in the unfailing memory of God. -Arthur Jackson
The faithful labors of God’s people do not go unnoticed by the Lord.
