We need to be reminded, a lot!

I finished up my reading of Joshua this morning and was struck by how profound and yet so simple these exhortations were.  We need to be reminded...




Be very careful, therefore, to love the LORD your God. -Joshua 23:11


and...


And now I am about to go the way of all the earth, and you know in your hearts and souls, all of you, that not one word has failed of all the good things that the LORD your God promised concerning you. All have come to pass for you; not one of them has failed. -Joshua 23:14


We are a forgetful, unfaithful people.  Our God, however, never forgets and is always faithful.


These words reminded me what I needed to be reminded of:


Stay near to him and love him.  My heart is prone to wander. He is faithful and does not forget his promises- and it has been proven time and time again in my life.  He is good! Amen!
