Remember

TODAY’S VERSE

Think back on those early days when you first learned about Christ.

Hebrews 10:32 (NLT)

TODAY’S THOUGHT

It is easy to lose our confident trust in God. We get so wound up in our present situation that we forget God has been faithful over and over again. This is why the author of Hebrews warns us to remember what God has done in the past. He says, “Think back on those early days when you first learned about Christ.” Remember how you were full of joy over your salvation? Think back to the early years when you took God at His word and trusted Him for mighty things. What has changed? Has God? No! Perhaps you have become more cynical. Maybe you chalk off your early years as idealism, and today, you are more realistic about God’s involvement in your affairs. But beware, the author of Hebrews also wrote, “Do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord.” God is as alive today as He was when you first met Him. It is our cynicism that has changed. Instead, have patience and endurance. Put your faith in the God who is faithful to you. Trust Him today and continue to do His will.

TODAY’S PRAYER

Father, help me to remember all that You have done for me. Help me to remember Your faithfulness. Help me trust You more today.

AMEN
