Remember the LORD your God.
He is the one who gives you the ability to be successful
Deuteronomy 8:18
Have you ever struggled to remember a word? It’s often a simple word. It’s often a word we know we should know. It’s right on the tip of our tongue but we just can’t remember it. Given a little time the word pops into our mind and we think to ourselves “How could I not have remembered that!”
Today’s verse lets us know the importance of remembering. We’re told that we should remember the “one who gives” = the Lord our God. We should remember Him not just for who He is but for what He desires to accomplish in our lives. God is the “one who gives” all the strength & efficiency needed to be successful and prosper. Without Him life will descend into chaos, difficulty & unfruitfulness.
Whenever success seems to elude us, or daily life seems to crush in, it’s possible that we’ve forgotten something vital. We’ve forgotten the “one who gives”. We need to remember the Lord our God. We must remember the strength He gives. We must remember the purpose, plan & future He has for us. As we remember Him we receive from Him. He enables our future. He brings forth His promises & delivers pleasure in the day’s ahead.
This week let’s prepare for our future success. Let’s take our most difficult & troublesome areas of life & remember God in them. Let’s release them from our control to His. Let’s make Him the complete Lord over these things. Then, get ready to receive from the “one who gives”. Receive His strength & His efficiency. Receive what ‘s needed to build the future. The Lord our God will give us everything we need for our future that’s successful & happy.
