This morning as i sat in my conservatory listening to the rain coming down and hitting the roof. I began to look through my Pastoral Journal where i make notes and came across this theme “Make God a Memorial.” Every believer is to remember what God has done for them. Too many of us receive but are not appreciative, yet we celebrate at the thought of healing, financial blessings, new houses, cars, and other things that will be promised in the name of the Lord, but as soon as we recieve we forget.
Deuteronomy 8:1-20
Verse 10-12:
10. When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.
11. Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:
12. Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;
God is amazing, Paul in his writing to the Hebrews reminding them of the new covenant, a new way of thinking, a new way of living and a new way of relationship. God was going to put “His law into their minds and write them in their hearts: and i will be to them a God and they shall be to me a people.” In Hebrews 8 verse 12, God continues to reassure them, “For i will be merciful to their unrighteousness and their sins and their iniquities will i remember no more.” In our Christian walk we need to remember where the Lord has brought us from. One way to remember God’s goodness, is to make Him a memorial in our hearts. We would do well to make Him a dwelling place in our heart, a place for Him to abide.
