CONSTANT REMINDER

Today's reading: Judges 7-11

"They forgot the Lord their God, who had rescued them from all their enemies surrounding them." Judges 8:34 NLT

I needed the reminder this morning that the recommendations, commands, charges and commissions God makes of us are for our benefit. He gives us a number of ways in which, by obedience, we are called to remember all He has done for us...

He asks to assemble together--so we don't forget.

He asks that we share our stories of salvation--so we don't forget.

He asks that we live prayerful lives--so we don't forget.

He asks that we love one another--so we don't forget.

He asks that we keep His Word before us--so we don't forget.

He asks that we observe times of communion--so we don't forget.

He asks that we forgive one another--so we don't forget.

He asks that we give to the poor, the needy, the orphans and the widows--so we don't forget.

All these things so that we will keep in front of us what He has done for us. 

Are you faithfully utilizing these reminders?
