Continuous Reminders
It seems like the more I think about what God is doing for me in this situation that I find myself in the more He does. The more He gives me.
He keeps showing me He has the strength to get me through this.
Genesis 15:5
"God took Abraham outside and said 'look up at the heavens and count the stars- if indeed you can count them.' Then He said to him, 'So shall be your offspring.'"
There is a pause in this verse where God waits for Abraham to count the stars. We don't ever think about Abraham actually attempting to count the stars. We would simply say "Uhhh... no thanks. Thats not possible." But I'm sure Abraham tried. And after a little time and lots of redos and startovers God finally told him 'So shall be your offspring.'
God does stuff like this to give us a reminder of His promises.
Its a very effective way of keeping His promises in sight instead of allowing us tp block them and forget them.
He reminds me beacuse He loves me.
How awesome???
No matter what else happens, in this time or in another, God will continue to remind me of what He has done.
When I go through the day and look around me I see people I love, things of beauty, and so much that He has blessed me with. That in and of itself is a reminder.
So ha! I don't have to worry :)
In the words of Wes Hamilton "Thats not who I am so its not what I'll do."
