Remind Me
John16:33, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”
Good morning! How are we doing this day that God gave us to cherish? Did we wake with the positive attitude that we will need to get through another day? Have we remembered to pause, breathe, then meet God in prayer that will secure our guidance from Him as we move through the moments of this day? Today we really want to focus on how God reminds us to call on Him at all times. That in Him all things are possible and with Him we have strength for the struggles, the challenges, the successes and achievements! As we step into today, let’s look at how we can be more in line with how He takes time to be present, to be available at a moment’s notice. Maybe we should recall just one time we know without doubt that, had He not been there, the experience or the accident could have been totally different. Maybe we had an interview that had pushed us to levels of unbelievable anxiety; yet when we called on Him; He came in and helped us to relax, to breathe, just whispered that little encouragement. All through the Bible, God was constantly reminding His followers to trust, to have faith; to just let go and let Him lead! Time after time, God shows his compassion every day; His renewing of His proven reliability in all our needs. Have we not been reminded of His daily mercies, our answered prayers, the unchanging truth of His words in the Bible? Do you not recall how “angels in disguise” showed up just in time? We are reminded of how those people He place in our paths supported us through crisis, supported us through the successes, gave us companionship when we thought we were alone. Jesus was constantly reminding His disciples of the teachings they received all their lives! He even reminded the Pharisees, Sadducees, priest, and Jewish leaders what the scriptures said; the teachings they were supposed to be giving to the people! We should be thankful that God is so merciful, forgiving, trustworthy, and gracious. As we go through the moments today and in the days to come, let’s focus on remembering why we are here. Let’s take time to remind ourselves that God is here for us; guiding us; loving us; all we need to do is call on Him, for we are His!
