Fantastic Friday #566 - Remind

Good Morning,

Remind

12 So I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have. 13 I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body,14 because I know that I will soon put it aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. 15 And I will make every effort to see that after my departure you will always be able to remember these things. 2 Peter 1:12-15

We all set reminders for ourselves and usually have to remember to remind ourselves of our reminders. I know that sounds strange, but how many of us can actually remember to do the things we need to do daily without a reminder. I know I can't, in fact I am not very good at remembering things at my age and I know it is all going to get worse. The same can be said about what Christ did for us, and the Gospel message. While I am sure many of us don't forget what He did, we certainly need reminders, kind of like how I did this week. I need to be reminded regularly of God's faithfulness, because times can be hard and we can easily get swallowed by the enemy and the false beliefs he puts in our head. How many of us think this occasionally, "the world is too big, has too many people, and God isn't going to be concerned about my little problem." This is the enemy and he is wrong. God cares about all of His children and is always there for us to guide us through the work of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit and His Word reminds us of who we are, and now we just need to take the moment to listen to the right guide. I hope this reminds you to lean in and listen.

Have a great weekend.
