TODAY’S VERSE
But they soon forgot what he had done and did not wait for his counsel.
Psalms 106:13 (NIV)
TODAY’S THOUGHT
There is a difference between memory lapse and apathy. We can be sincere about something and forget a few details. However, if we fail to show up, be involved, or forget information repeatedly, then our sincerity is in doubt. It can be this way with Christ. It starts with other things choking out our passion, emotion, or excitement about Christ and then leads to a lack of interest in or concern for things of God. In the Old Testament, the people of God allowed themselves to forget what God had done in the past. The lessons of faith that they should have incorporated into their lives were never cultivated. It wasn’t long before they began living like God didn’t exist at all. What can you do to protect your soul from this spiritual apathy? How can you take deliberate steps to preserve your Christian walk? You do it by being disciplined in your spirituality. It is your remembrance of His promises, the recalling of the many miracles you have witnessed, the active reading of the scriptures, and spending time with God seeking His counsel that will keep you from falling. These spiritual disciplines will protect you when facing temptation. They will be your guide when you have hard decisions to make. May the remembrance of all He has done for you, give you the confidence you need to continue to follow Him.
TODAY’S PRAYER
Father, help me remember all You have done for me so I can seek Your counsel and allow You to guide me as I go through this day.
AMEN
