Deut. 8:11 "Be careful that you do not forget the Lord your God failing to observe his commands, his laws and his decrees that I am giving you this day."
God wants to make sure his people do not forget him and what he has done for them. Before they proceed to the promised land, God wants to make sure they remember who's in charge and who rescued them.
Remembering is tough. I just found some older photos this week and it's amazing to see faces and places from years ago. I found myself saying "oh I remember that." But I only remembered the moment after being reminded by the photo. I do the same thing with God. I too easily forget him and what he has done for me. Thank goodness for his word to remind me. I need daily, hourly reminders of him.
Dear Jesus, help me remember you and your word each day, each hour and at every moment. Amen.
