Remember today what you have learned about the Lord through your experiences with him.
Deuteronomy 11:2
Remember Calculus? Do you remember your 12th kiss? How about the color the 3rd Refrigerator? Do you remember the barber's name who cut your hair when you were 3? Me either. I am willing to wager that there is quite a lot I have learned during my lifetime that I have forgotten. Why? I didn't find it worth remembering.
Why is it we can sing the lyrics to our favorite songs, yet struggle to remember a Bible verse? Why can we recite the lines to our favorite movie but we cannot seem to remember how God has guided us through an extremely difficult time? Because we have determined what is important enough for us to remember!
One of the things I teach new Law Enforcement Officers is the fact that THEY are in charge of what enters their mind and what stays in their mind. We have to be alert and careful guardians of the information we want to remember. I'll be honest, my mind is full of useless information because one of my favorite things to do is watch Cash Cab and try to answer the trivia questions. But something I am working on remembering are all the ways God has helped me, protected me, taught me, guided me, loved me...by writing them down!
Join me please in this adventure!
