Deuteronomy 8:2 "You shall remember all the way which the Lord your God has led you in the wilderness these forty years, that He might humble you, testing you to know what was in you heart whether you would keep His commandments or not."
vs. 5 "Thus you are to know in your heart that the Lord your God was disciplining you just as a man disciplines his son."
vs. 11 "Beware that you do not forget the Lord your God by not keeping His commandments and His ordinances and His statutes which I am commanding you today."
Another reminder to REMEMBER the goodness of our God! REMEMBER what He has done in your life. REMEMBER where your protection comes from, REMEMBER where your provision comes from, where wisdom comes from, where health and victory come from! Our God! There is no other source. And because our God is so gracious, even when we do forget, He disciplines His children and allows testing in our lives to guide us back to Him. What an amazing God we serve. So, the next time you are going through a tough time, be looking for what God is trying to teach you through it. He is looking at your heart and how you will respond when stress and trials come. Do you turn to Him? or something or someone else? REMEMBER....only God can save, only God can transform hearts and lives, only God can provide for your needs. He is your source.
Thank you Father for all that you have done in our lives. For our salvation, protection, provision, wisdom and guidence. Every good thing comes from You Lord. Thank you for loving us enough to discipline us and for leading us back to You when we stray. Help us to remember your goodness daily!
