Leaky

Isn’t it funny how quickly we can forget things? Like why we walked into another room, where we put our keys, when we scheduled that appointment, what we were saying…. Yep, we all do it! I think, though, that the things I most want to remember  are all the ways God has shown His faithfulness to me. There is such encouragement in remembering the ways He has shown His love and sovereignty in ways so beautifully specific to me. Yet, I still forget. Especially in the midst of a new struggle. Why is that? My grandmother’s answer was, “We leak!”

“I remind my soul
I remind my soul
I remind my soul
I remind my soul
And I remind my soul
I remind my soul
I remind my soul
I remind my soul

He pulled me out of the pit
He put a song on my lips
He set my feet on the rock
He spoke a word to my heart
He pulled me out of the pit
He put a song on my lips
He set my feet on the rock
He spoke a word to my heart”

Grandma would have loved Pastor Jon Egan’s song, “Be Strong.” Ever notice how many times we sing the phrase, “I remind my soul”? We need to be reminded to remember….because we leak. Reminding ourselves – even reminding one another – of God’s goodness is necessary in our daily walk. Good times or bad, remembering His faithfulness is incredibly powerful and gives us the boost we need to keep going. It disarms the enemy’s lie of discouragement with the truth of God’s promises. 

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday today and forever.

Hebrews 13:8

So, give yourself a moment to listen to Be Strong and be reminded, be encouraged, be strong. Then take a moment and remind yourself of how He has been faithful to you. And finally, take another moment to encourage another about His goodness. Share a story of God’s faithfulness to boost the faith of your fellow Daughter of the Most High. He has made us sisters in Christ and we have the privilege of cheering one another on, reminding each other that God is who He says He is. Reminding one another that…

You are adored.
