“I have hidden Your word in my heart that I might not sin against You.” Psalm 119:11 (NIV)

I am a somewhat organized individual and oftentimes, in order to get things done, I make lists. It is always satisfying to me when I can put a check mark beside an item on a list. Job done; completed; fulfilled and out of the way.

If I don’t make a list when I go to the grocery store, I end up coming home with various bags of unneeded items that will, most likely, sit in my cupboard for a while before getting consumed, or I will forget the very item – or items I drove to the store for, and be frustrated with myself.

Then, there is that trip we take and think we packed all we needed but did not make a list and ended up (like me on my latest trip) having to go to the local CVS Pharmacy to purchase a toothbrush. Who has never sent their children to school on their first day of classes without all their school supplies because they shopped for the supplies without the list of needed items with them?

How about important appointments? A visit to the doctor, a job interview, a music lesson, someone’s birthday party, a special dinner or anything that should have gone on your calendar, and you neglected to do so, and it fell into the land of forgetfulness. It happens to the best of us!

We forget. Period.

My point in all of this is: we all need reminders. We are all prone to be easily diverted and unless we set reminders for ourselves, we are likely to forget something important. The Bible is filled with reminders for us to stay on the path of righteousness; to do good; to help others; to be generous, and so much more.

A word with our Heavenly Father is sine qua non (absolutely indispensable) to our livelihood, but we often forget to keep our communication with Him flowing. If your Bible has been sitting idle for a few days, place it in an obvious location where you cannot miss it. Remember your source.

“Dear Lord, You never forget us, May we never forget You.”

For His Glory
