The Benefits Of A Real And Good GodSample

Remember the Good

It is so easy to forget all that God has done for us. It is so easy to focus on our problems and needs rather than on all the good things God has given us. We are prone to forget. Not surprisingly, all throughout the Old Testament, God calls His people to remember. Remember what God has done for you. Remember God's provisions for you. Remember God's gifts to you. Remember God rescues you. Remember! 

The whole purpose of Passover is so that the Jews would remember what God had done when He rescued them from slavery in Egypt. Similarly, Jesus gave us communion so that we would regularly remember what He did for us on the cross in delivering us from our slavery to sin. 

As humans, we can forget so quickly the things God has done for us. We must be deliberate and intentional in remembering how God has gifted us, rescued us, blessed us, and protected us.  So, dear child of God, remember. Remember with a grateful heart. Remember with gratitude. Remember and give thanks. 

Sometime soon, you might carve out an unhurried period of time with the Lord and make a list of all God's gifts to you. Write down everything you can think of: big things and little things, distant things, recent things, routine things, and exceptional things. Write down as many blessings as you can, then get down on your knees and give thanks.
