For what great nation is there that has gods so close to it as the LORD, our God, is to us whenever we call upon him? Or what great nation has statutes and decrees that are as just as this whole law which I am setting before you today? “However, take care and be earnestly on your guard not to forget the things which your own eyes have seen, nor let them slip from your memory as long as you live, but teach them to your children and to your children’s children.”
How blessed we are that God is constantly reaching out to us. And often every day we fail to notice His presence, or we notice and then forget. We forget answered prayers (as well as those thankfully unanswered prayers.) We forget those times when we grudgingly follow His laws, and end up being better off for it. Yet those are the things that God asks us to remember. As his children, He wants us to see and remember so that we will continue to call out to and stay close to Him. So let us be aware of God’s loving presence in our lives and “be on…guard not to forget” how he cares for us.
Challenge: On a piece of paper, write down at least one way that God was present to you today. Place the piece of paper in a place where you will see it tomorrow.
