I remember certain dates of things that are significant, not just the event, but the date itself sometimes. It might be a series of dates or a particular time period, but oftentimes it is a specific date. We will be talking about something as a family, and they can't believe that I remember that.
I imagine you do the same with certain things.
One of the commands in scripture I have come across several times is the command to "remember". Think about when the Israelites crossed the Jordan River. They were told to set up a "memorial" to "remember" what God had done for them. I remember (ha ha) in college at our Spring Conference for BSU (Baptist Student Union) as a senior, we made a picture of the significant events in our lives leading up to our senior year of college.
Those crude drawings were to help us "remember" significant times along our Christian journey that were particularly significant in our walk with the Lord.
With the uncertainty of the future, it is good to "remember" the faithfulness of God in the past. It is good to remember, especially, the faithfulness of God in the gospel--the life, the death, the resurrection, and the ascension of Christ.
While there is still a "pandemic" going on and the times in our country are kinda crazy right now, maybe it's a good time to spend some time "remembering" the faithfulness of God in your life. Maybe it would do your soul some good to get a little notebook or journal and start remember today.
