Exodus 13 -- REMEMBER!

Moses spent time explaining the importance of remembering what God had done and was doing in their lives.  This wasn’t simply a new holiday.  God had intervened in humanity as He’d not done since Creation.

As I read it this morning, certain phrases jumped out at me as reminders to me today in the same way:  “Remember this … you were slaves [to sin] … but the Lord with His great power brought you out of it … Today … the Lord will lead you … This is the land He promised … From now on, when your son asks you, ‘What does this mean?’ you will answer, ‘With His great power the Lord brought us out’ [of our sin] … That is why I sacrifice – a reminder … to help you remember that the Lord brought us out….”

Father, every day You remind me of where I was and where You’ve brought me.  Thank You for making me into a new man, a different man – a man after Your own heart.  Continue to remind me, and continue to guide me each day by Your strong power.  I need You.

Your Brother In Christ,

Gary Ford
