Remembering

I was thinking this morning about the importance of remembering.

I’m terrible at it, but it is so important.  (Check that.  Reality is this: I remember what I dwell on.)

How many times in the Bible were things established for the sole purpose of remembering what God had done?

God’s words to the Israelites after Passover, altars erected after a mighty acts of deliverance by God, the words of Jesus at the last supper with his disciples, the thief on the cross next to Jesus, etc.

I take lots of notes when I’m trying to learn something new.  The sole purpose is to remember what I’m learning.

Lord, help me choose to think back and remember the important things.
