How do you remember to do things? Do you write lists? Post-its? Store information on your phone?

I have been struck in the last couple of days that God often causes me to remember what He has done for me. However, He graciously chooses not to remind me of what I have done.

Why is this?
Because He never changes. But I do.
Because He is always good. I am not.
Because He is slow to anger. I am fast.
Because He is faithful. I lack faith.
Because He is wise. I’m silly.

God is loving and His post-its notes are as they ever were. When He starts a sentence with “I am the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob…” He is declaring His CV of grace, miracle-working power, love and destiny. So it is with you and I.

He may want to remind you of something today. Perhaps that He is in control of your life; perhaps that He knows what is currently keeping you awake; perhaps that He understands why you feel lonely right now…

Let God remind you of what you have forgotten about Him.
If you hear someone telling you of your failures in the past, it is unlikely to be His voice you are tuning in to.
