Remind Me

The older I get the more forgetful I become – or so it seems. I have found that it’s important to write things down in my calendar so that I can be reminded of a commitment that I made. I can usually remember if it’s only a day or so before, but I get frustrated with my forgetfulness for sure.  There is an app for that called “Remind Me”and I think it’s used by teachers and school administrators to communicate with parents and students.

King David was asking the Lord for a reminder because it’s easy to lose perspective on this life and the Power and Presence of the Lord. Check this out….

“Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be.
    Remind me that my days are numbered—
    how fleeting my life is.
You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand.
    My entire lifetime is just a moment to you;
    at best, each of us is but a breath.”

We are merely moving shadows,
    and all our busy rushing ends in nothing.
We heap up wealth,
    not knowing who will spend it.
And so, Lord, where do I put my hope?
    My only hope is in you.(Psalm 39:4-7 NLT)

I need to be reminded of the faithfulness of the Lord.

I need to be reminded of His great grace.

I need to be reminded of His deep love.

I need to be reminded of His Patience.

I need to be reminded of His forgiveness.

I need to be reminded of the purpose of my life.

I don’t know how long I will live on this earth before entering heaven, but I want to make my days count instead of just count my days. I want to use my time today and every day wisely, keeping an eye on the goal of my life – heaven.  Our topic of conversation at sales meeting yesterday was Time. I was reminded that time is a valuable commodity that we spend somewhat frivolously at times. One of my agents reminded me of deathclock.com. It’s a bit morbid to think about but sobering just the same. I was put here on earth to bring glory to the Lord. I must remember to make my days count instead of just count my days. I’m thankful for the reminder.

Death Was Arrested!

Pressing On!
