DO NOT FORGET

I absolutely love how my daily scripture readings always glean a new insight or make stronger one that I already know but need reconfirmed in my life.

This morning I was reminded in Deuteronomy 4:9 "be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them." These were God's reminder to the Israelites and they are for us as well. As I wrote about yesterday the importance of sharing what God has done in your life, today was a confirmation of this. Move on to vs. 35 "You were shown these things so that you might know that the Lord is God; besides him there is no other."

Both of these verses ring so true in my life. God has shown himself in our life so miraculously. He has provided for us, he has opened doors, he has given us more loving hearts, more forgiving hearts, more understanding hearts and reminded us to trust him as he leads us forward. How can I hold this in?

I want to pass on to our family the awesomeness of God. To remain in his word every day; vs. 29 says "But if from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul." No matter where you have been or what you are facing it is his promise that he will be found - look for him - pray to him - read his word and ask him to open himself up to you. He will be there!
