It's Important To Remember

Good Morning!! Think about how much information goes into our brains on a constant basis. We live in a world filled with constant stimuli, with each piece fighting for a place of priority in our thoughts. Our days begin with so much to do that our digital day-planers and calendars, need more power. Sometimes I'm amazed at just how soon I can forget something,...regardless of the, tools or tricks I might use to help me, not forget. I'm thankful that the Lord knows this shortfall within me,...and within all of us, as human beings.

Moses said, "This is what the LORD has commanded: 'Take an omer of manna and keep it for the generations to come, so they can see the bread I gave you to eat in the wilderness when I brought you out of Egypt.'"—Exodus 16:32 (NIV)

The Lord instructed Moses on how to store the manna, as their reminder of how He fed them in the wilderness for forty years. Sadly, as the Bible reveals to us their continuing story,...these people would soon forget how good God was to them, again. But God did not want them to forget, and He does not want us to forget either. One of the best blessings in my life, has been the habit of writing a daily devotional. Writing out my prayers, my thoughts and feelings, and my personal evidence of God’s hand in my life, has strengthened my faith and trust in Him. I can look back over past issues and read about the amazing times He intervened in my circumstances. Sometimes I read old thoughts, or understandings, that I've written and shared,...only to realize how much I grown. They've become my personal testimony, of who God is in my life.

I invite you to commit yourselves to finding an activity, to keep as a testimony of how awesome our God, and Savior truly is.

Father God, we thank You, for the many ways You help us to know, and remember Your faithfulness. Amen.
