EVERYTHING YOU DO IS RECORDED

One of the reasons why we must be careful how we live is that everything we do on earth is recorded. No action of man is forgotten. Therefore, living carelessly will have serious consequences.

Sometimes, men keep physical documentations of our activities. Hence, it was said that the book of the chronicles of the king was opened and what Mordecai had done in saving the king’s life was discovered, prompting due recognition from the king (Esther 6:1-3).

However, some recordings of our actions and attitudes are filed away in human memories. That is why people can recall what we have done with incredible accuracy. The butler remembered Joseph and what he had done in interpreting his dream (Genesis 41:9). He then recommended him to Pharaoh so he could also interpret the king’s dream.

But, most importantly, heaven takes proper records of all we do, including our thoughts, both for those who fear God and those who don’t. Thus, the Bible says that there books in heaven (Revelation 20:12). Those books of records also mean that God remembers what we have done, whether good or bad. God remembered Noah for good and let him out of the ark (Genesis 8:1). But He remembered the Amalekites for judgement and ordered their destruction (1 Samuel 15:2-3).

The question is, what has been recorded about you that people would remember you for? Most importantly, you will stand in judgment before God someday. What has heaven recorded about you that God would remember you for?
