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?
