Things I Know (But Some
Days Fail to Remember)
By Lisa Boyer
“Many, LORD my God,
are the wonders you have done, the things you planned for us. None can compare
with you; were I to speak and tell of your deeds, they would be too many to
declare.”
Psalm 40:5 (NIV)
I know how amazing the God of the
universe is:
“For
the LORD Most High is awesome, the great King over all the earth.” Psalm 47:2
“… for the LORD your God, who is among you, is a
great and awesome God.” Deuteronomy 7:21
“He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed,
miracles that cannot be counted.” Job 5:9
“For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of
lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts
no bribes.” Deuteronomy 10:17
“Then I said: "LORD, the God of heaven, the
great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those who love him
and keep his commandments” Nehemiah 1:5
I know that God created me(!):
“So
God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and
female he created them.” Genesis 1:27, 31a
“Know
that the LORD is God. It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people,
the sheep of His pasture.” Psalm 100:3
“Your
hands made me and formed me” Psalm 119:73a
I know that God chose me to have a relationship
with Him:
“For
he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in
his sight.” Ephesians 1:4
“But
you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special
possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of
darkness into his wonderful light.” 1
Peter 2:9
“In
him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him
who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will.” Ephesians 1:11
I know that God has a plan and a purpose
for my life:
“For we are God's
workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in
advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2:10
“He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the
glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.” 2 Thessalonians 2:14
Even though I know these things, some days I fail to
remember them; but not today, today I
will remember!!!
GOING DEEPER:
1. In the busy-ness of daily life, what is it
that you fail to remember? Today will you go to His Word to be reminded by Him?
