Reminded

I need to be reminded quite often. I think the older I get the more reminding that I need. I have some reminders set on my phone. I have reminders posted on my desk. I have reminders in my truck. The reason I need reminders is because of my forgetfulness.  I even need reminders of God and how He works.

As Job navigates his suffering, Elihu is pouring it on with a lecture to Job about God. He speaks a lot of truth. I feel like some of it is extreme, but some is also very practical. He reminds Job about God. Check this out….

²² “Look, God is all-powerful.
    Who is a teacher like him?
²³ No one can tell him what to do,
    or say to him, ‘You have done wrong.’
²⁴ Instead, glorify his mighty works,
    singing songs of praise.
²⁵ Everyone has seen these things,
    though only from a distance.

²⁶ “Look, God is greater than we can understand.
    His years cannot be counted. (Job 36:22-26 NLT)

I need to be reminded of the Power and Presence of God.

I need to be reminded of all that He has done for me.

I need to be reminded of all that He is currently doing in my life.

I need to be reminded of the blessings of God upon my life.

I need to be reminded of how praising God changes my perspective.

I need to be reminded of how God teaches me truth.

I need to be reminded of how simple faith is.

I need to be reminded of my deep need for God.

His Word reminds me of how high, how deep and how amazing God’s love is for me. He took my sin and my shame and wiped it out. He has set my feet on solid ground. I need reminding every day and several times throughout the day to be grateful for the amazing love and grace of that God has lavished on me.

Pressing On!
