Remember

It’s my birthday today, um, probably not the day your hearing this, but the day I’m writing it. (For my blogging audience this going in the taking a minute radio spots next month) So all these posts on facebook and texts from people saying happy birthday it’s great, I mean, they remembered. When I remember something it does two things to me, it means a thought has taken over my mind and interrupted whatever I had been thinking of before, and then it transforms that thought into an action, like someone going out and getting me a gift, or making me some rice crispies. Hint hint. Deuternomy 8:18 says “But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant.” God’s word reminds us to remember Him. And more than that, remember Him because he GIVES. Our God gives. When we think about God he wants us to see Him as giving. For God so loved the world that He gave, his only son. God is love, and He expresses that love as a gift to us. So Remember the Lord your God today, Let Him interrupt your thoughts right now. If your thoughts are worried, or stressed, then replace that with God, and let Him give you peace and joy. He is confirming His covenant with you, you are blessed, forgiven and free.
