(Numbers 15:37-41) The Lord also spoke to Moses, saying, 38 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and tell them that they shall make for themselves tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and that they shall put on the tassel of each corner a cord of blue. 39 It shall be a tassel for you to look at and remember all the commandments of the Lord, so as to do them and not follow after your own heart and your own eyes, after which you played the harlot, 40 so that you may remember to do all My commandments and be holy to your God. 41 I am the Lord your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt to be your God; I am the Lord your God.”
TODAY'S THOUGHTS AND MEDITATION:
God is not opposed to memory aids, but rather encourages this. As long as we don't put our faith in the items themselves or turn these items into something to be worshiped.
Every year, our church has a time of very intentional prayer (which we encourage to continue throughout the year). During this time, the church has black rubber wristbands available for everyone with the words etched in them "something only God can do". Not only do these serve as a reminder that we can and should go to God in prayer with everything, any time of day. but they can serve as a conversational piece which can lead to opportunities of sharing the gospel message.
For me, routine helps me stay accountable. And having this blog! My devotional life has never been so consistent. And very candidly, as I started this particular "topic" of meditation, I was a bit fearful of the books which followed Exodus. But I'm continually blown away by God's faithfulness and His word and how applicable and practical it is!!! And so, as always, I'm continually excited to see what God has to say to me each day!!!
