The book of Deuteronomy contains a lot of Moses’ final advice and reminders to the Israelites. He re-emphasizes many laws and reminders for the Israelites and he attempts to lay groundwork of faith for them before his death.
The biggest thing that Moses keeps repeating to them is, essentially, this…
“Later, after my death…after years have passed, do not forget about God”
Even when other gods look tempting, and the day of
Moses continues to point out miracles, and he tells them of all of the places where they certainly saw God move.
His whole idea is to give memories to hold onto so that they will never be tempted to forget about God’s love, presence and miracles again.
How does this apply to us?
Days will come when life seems pretty hard…when it will be difficult to remember anything besides the stress that is sitting right in front of you.
We need to be like Moses and to remind ourselves of God’s work when it is hard to see it. We need to memorize the moments and the miracles that we should not forget, so that they will still be with us when we are tempted to walk away.
That is the entire point of this blog. It is here to record the faithfulness of God. This is the place where I keep track of God’s character and miracles through out history and, sometimes, in my own life too.
Don’t let yourself forget about God’s work in your life!
