Have you
forgotten
something?
something?
God has done
miracles in our lives but we still get anxious when things aren't going quite
the way we hoped

“He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered:
the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.” - Psalms 111:4
A farmer was showing his visiting citydwelling friend
around his farm.
"Watch this!" he said.
He gave a whistle and his little dog came running from
the house, herded the cattle into the corral, then latched the gate with her
paw.
"Wow, that's some dog -- what's her name?"
The forgetful farmer thought for a
minute and then asked, "What do you call that red flower that smells
good and has thorns on the stem?"
"A rose?"
"That's it!" The farmer turned to his wife.
"Hey Rose, what do we call this dog?"
Funny how we forget things, isn't it?
But I'm not so sure God finds it all that funny!
When we read about the children of Israel and their
journeys through the wilderness for forty years, we see how God provided
wonderful miracles for them, feeding them daily with manna, guiding them by a
pillar of fire by night and a cloud by day, parting the Red Sea!
How is it, then, that they became so very hard hearted
toward Him?
Over time, I think those miracles just became
commonplace and they began to take them for granted!
But then again when I look back on my life, I can't
really blame them. It happens to the best of us!
But we still
get anxious when things aren't going quite the way we hoped, don't we?
Recall a miracle of God in your life. Remember the joy
you felt? We need to relive that joy today!
The miracle of God's new birth in us and the many
other miracles God has done are not ones to be quickly forgotten. We need to
relive them daily!
We never want to become cold toward God!
Let's spend some time remembering the miracles He has
done in our lives and strive to trust Him for the trials we face today!
