Today in my reading I was struck by this one word: Remember: To have in the mind an idea which had been in the mind before, and which recurs to the mind without effort.
What things have come into my view this day which have circumvented my "remembering". God's Word says He remembers but I find that I forget. What am I to remember:
1. His promises Jer 29:10 Then I will fulfill my gracious promise to you
2. His love for me Jer 31:3 ‘I have loved you with an everlasting love.That is why I have continued to be faithful to you.
3. His plan for me jer 29:11 know what I have planned for you,’ says the Lord. ‘I have plans to prosper you, not to harm you. I have plans to give you a future filled with hope.
But as I look back on just these past few hours I have been so completely immersed in my tasks that I have "forgotten". I have forgotten His love, His promises, His plan. For that I need this reminder to remember. So today as I wrote my post on https://www.facebook.com/bible.org I sought to remind the readers: REMEMBER...Do not forget. Be alert for the enemy comes dragging his worldly treasures to distract you and me with his "deadly d's" of disappointment, distraction, disharmony, etc. etc. I can only be successful as I stay close to Him, so close I can feel His breath, hear His voice and be reminded of His love for me.
