NEVER TO FORGET
Today's reading: Deuteronomy 4-6

"But watch out! Be very careful never to forget what you have seen the Lord do for you. Do not let these things escape from your mind as long as you live! And be sure to pass them on to your children and grandchildren." Deuteronomy 4:9 NLT

Isaiah's tired of hearing about it. Dale nods his head and rolls his eyes when I start recalling the event. The gals in my Sunday School class, as gracious as they are, listen as I submit the details again and again from my soapbox.

I just can't keep it in.

Thing is, I don't want to forget. I don't want to have to repeat the lesson in order to see the glory of God revealed or His grace manifested. You see, it was a hard road leading up to it--a road I'd just as soon remember, but one I'd prefer not to 'jog' down again.

So? So, I'll keep telling. I'll keep testifying. I'll continue to point to Him as the Author and Finisher of my story.

My son's hearing it. My grandkids are going to hear it. My closest friends will hear it. You've heard it.

And still? And still it bears repeating: God is so good!

And in case you haven't heard...He enabled me to jog my very first 5K run this past weekend. To Him goes ALL the glory and honor and praise. No one but me knows how deliberately I am choosing to place all the victory into His hands, because on my own I'd have been unable to do it. The pride I feel in regards to myself and my accomplishment must be forwarded to Him.

Oh, don't be surprised if I tell you again next week or next month--you see it's that big of a deal to me! And, well, I'm just doing what the Good Book says!
