Daily Reading: <\/strong>Deuteronomy 4 GW<\/a>; John 21 GW<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

God\u2019s work is personal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of my favorite pastimes is listening to people talk about God.  Everyone is a theologist; your belief about God is your theology.  Because we are like snowflakes, no two alike, we all have different perspectives on God.  What is important is how you relate to God and His interaction with you.  Our problem isn\u2019t God working in our lives; we forget the work He has already done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moses is speaking to the Israelites in today\u2019s scripture.  He\u2019s once again reminding the Israelites of all God did for them in the past.  Moses must constantly remind his flock that God is working daily in their lives.  Our memories grow shorter with each new technological advance.  Our phones serve as an external brain.  We rely on the palm-sized computer to remember everything for us, meaning if we don\u2019t write it down, we forget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Short pencils beat long memories.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Write down your God moments.  Find someplace where you can record when God answers your prayers.  I have a \u201cPrayer Board\u201d that I post my continuing prayers.  When God moves, I store them in a basket.  Now and then, I read back through them.  Since Moses isn\u2019t here to remind me, I have to remind myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all need reminders of what God has done for us.  When today\u2019s pressures close in on us, we quickly forget the times God has provided in the past.  Remembering what God did helps you have faith in what God will do.  In effect, we remind ourselves of this fact: God is with us.  God was present in the last disaster; He\u2019s in this one too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Write down five things God has done for you in the past.  Post the list somewhere you will see it often.  Remind yourself daily; God did it before. He\u2019ll do it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lord, You are the God of provision.\u00a0 No matter what the situation, You have an answer.\u00a0 Forgive us for forgetting so quickly how you have provided for us in the past.\u00a0 Today, remind us of your sovereignty in our lives.\u00a0 Whatever we face today, help us have faith. You are already at work.\u00a0 In You, we have all we need.\u00a0 You did it for us before, Lord; please do it again today.\u00a0 IJNIP. Amen<\/p>\n\n\n\n
