Thankfulness, Part 4

“They remembered that God was their Rock, that God Most High was their Redeemer.” Psalm 78:35

Do you have those times in your life in which you struggle to remember names, addresses, or phone numbers?  Have you ever said, "Your face looks familiar but I can't remember your name."  Have you ever misplaced your keys or your reading glasses?  I am confident that many of us have had those moments in which our memory failed us or at least it took a "mini" vacation and we were unable to recall the information or action that was needed at that moment.  But we do not want to allow the enemy to bring the dilemma of "spiritual amnesia" into our lives.  We do not want to forget the presence of God and the blessings of the character of God that is directed toward us on a moment by moment basis.  I almost wrote the words "daily basis" but then I remembered that the presence of God is on a "moment by moment" basis.  I need to keep my spiritual remembrance on an active status so that I can faithfully offer sincere praise and thanksgiving to God. Do you regularly recall the radical love of Christ? We can not afford to forget the awesome and wonderful love that God has shown toward to us and still shows to us every moment of our life.  He loves you as a beautiful image of His creation. He loves you to the point of laying down His life on your behalf, so by faith you can die to sin and live His resurrected life. The Lord’s ransomed love for you is a special memory of sacrifice. He died for you. 
 
Take some time today and thank God for His love that has been revealed to you during your lifetime!!!
