As much as I hated shoveling the 2 feet of snow we had last week, I love the fact that it has been 40 out for the past 4 days. Not bad for January.
So, I decided that I have done really bad lately in memorizing Scripture. I don't remember doing it regularly since High School. It is something that I think we find it easy to take for granted. While it is a great idea for young people to do, it is just as great for us to do as well. So, if you are thinking of me in your prayer time, pray that I will follow through and retain the verses. I have also challenged a couple of others to do the program with me.
I have also been thinking about forgiveness and how often we need it. The word of a song the other day really hit me. It was talking about the Israelites and how they had followed the cloud and fire, seen the Red Sea part, and still grumbled and disobeyed. The line said, "Have we forgotten who we are? Did we forget whose trip we are on?" We fall into the same problem. We have not seen the same things that they did, but still have seen amazing and wonderful things, and yet get our eyes of Him and end up wandering around in the "desert" of life.
Lord, teach us to remember that this is all about you and the journey is Your's.
