God lives and works today.
Perhaps we've experienced His reality at some time
in our lives, but then innumerable other experiences
followed, so that we simply forgot about what
God had done.
Today's meditation by Basilia Schling can help God's
reality to become once again an event of
today.
God called to His people Israel time and
again to remember.
For example, in Deuteronomy 8, verse 2, He
says, Remember all the ways which the Lord
your God has led you these forty years
in the wilderness.
Why does God call His people to remember?
Why does He actually command them to write
down His mighty deeds and set up memorials
as a testimony to His love?
God knows that through remembering, our hearts are
inflamed to give Him praise, and our trust
in His might and love are strengthened.
Time and time again in our sisterhood, we've
experienced the great value of remembering God's goodness.
Because we have no steady income, we must
live in a constant insecurity, totally dependent upon
God to supply the necessary money for all
the bills at the end of the month.
He alone must supply the help so that
all of the commissions He has given us
for His kingdom can be carried out.
Every time we get near the end of
the month and the burden of thousands of
dollars weighs heavily on our hearts, it has
really helped to remember.
Then we think back over the past years
and all the times we stood empty-handed
at the end of our possibilities.
Then, even if it were in the very
last minute, God always stepped in and gave
us everything we needed.
We should often set aside certain times to
remember and thank the Lord for what He
has done for us.
If we take time to remember at every
birthday or at the end of the year
or at the end of a certain chapter
of our lives, we would become strong in
faith and experience even more of God's help
and miracles.
To You, thanks now we raise, Father, hearken
to our praise.
Like a river streams Your goodness, Overwhelming us
with kindness, We taste paradise on earth.
You are kind, always kind, Only love to
us we find, Joyfully we praise Your mercy.
Father, You are love, love only, You are
good, so good to us.
