Are you in a place to claim God's blessing based upon His promises? Nehemiah 10-13

Nehemiah 13:31 (NASBStr)

... and I arranged for the supply of wood at appointed times and for the first fruits. Remember me, O my God, for good.

In the above verse that concludes Nehemiah and his work of restoring Israel we see him asking God to "remember me."   Although the book ends this way it is not the first time he prays such a prayer.   In Nehemiah 5:19; 6:14; 13:14, 22, he asks God the same thing.  We could probably ask ourselves why would a man of God be so inclined to ask a God who knows everything to remember something good we did?  Nehemiah is not in the belief that God either forgets or doesn't see.   He is in the place of reminding God of His promises.   God had promised to bless those who obeyed God (Deuteronomy 28-30).   Nehemiah believed in those promises and takes a moment to claim the blessing of those promises in prayer.   God is not angered, embarrassed, or taken aback by our remembering and claiming His promises.  In fact, that is the code for pleasing God (Romans 4:20-21; Hebrews 11:6).  having faith in God's promise honors God.  Claiming those promises and demonstrating our faith in them, obedience to them, knowledge of them is pleasing to God.   When we "stagger" at the promises of God in unbelief we fail to realized His blessing.   When we have faithfully obeyed His word we can faithfully and boldly claim His promises and the blessings attached to them.   The order is important, however.   Obey the Word of God in obedience by faith.   Than we can come to God in praise and worship and ask Him to remember our obedience so that we can claim His promises.
