This chapter is a walk down
memory lane. Moses records Israel
It occurred to me as I was
reading this morning that it is good for us to remember from time to time where
we are from and the journey the Lord has taken us to get on to where we
are.
Remembering gives
perspective. We did not always enjoy the freedom we have found in Christ. We did
not always understand the goodness of God Almighty and His providential hand of
protection, care and love. It is good to remember where we began so we can
appreciate God and where He has brought us.
It is good, from time to
time, to recall our journey… the path and places the Lord has taken us. To
recall the life lessons we have learned at the hand of the Lord, both positive
and negative life lessons. To recall the miracles we have seen. To recall how
the Lord has been with us every step of the journey.
It is good to recall the
vistas God has opened to us along the journey. As I spend my time with the Lord
this morning I am writing from the Atlantic Coast of Liberia. In all my wildest
dreams I never would have imagined speaking to Liberian pastors about the Word
of God. And yet in less than an hour, I will stand before 150 people teaching
for 6 hours…
Recalling also gives
courage for the future. God had been with Israel
As I recall my past I gain
encouragement that wherever God takes me in the future He will be with
me.
It is good for us, from
time to time, to recall our past… that we may gain courage for the days to come
and the journey the Lord will lead us on…
Lord, thank
You for my journey. I bless You and praise You, for the Your goodness to me as I
have walked with You these 37+ years. What a wonder You are Lord… I
praise You through Jesus, my Lord, Amen.
