They soon forgot His works; they did not wait for His counsel.
Psalm 106:13 NKJV
Humans are quick to forget. Just as the Israelites forgot God’s magnificent works in their lives, you, too, may turn your back on the Father. You forget the good and dwell on the bad. Or maybe you get hurried and harried. Perhaps you go out before Him instead of waiting on His hand to lead you in the right way at the right time. You accuse Him of withholding good gifts. Admit it. You are just as bad as an Israelite at the foot of Mount Sinai. Your face shines in the golden glow of the calf—or whatever idol you have fashioned to replace the King.
Stop today. Erect for yourself an altar of remembrance. Name the places and times God has blessed you beyond measure. He longs to do so again. In the moments when the grass appears greener, yesterday or tomorrow, rest in the unsettledness of today. It’s okay if you cannot see the way. You know the Way Maker.
God is for you. Just as His heart was for the Israelite people, His heart beats for all who call Jesus Lord and Savior. Remember Him. Count your blessings. Trust God, who is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
Father, help me be faithful. To remember the wheres and whens of your hand of blessing on me and my life. Find me loyal and thankful this day. Amen.
