Remember

In our journey as believers our greatest challenge each day is to remember that God is with us. He wants so much for us to follow, trust, and cling to Him.   His promise runs throughout the Bible with a simple message.  Trust me and I will take care of you and protect you.  Yet every day I forget this incredible, miraculous gift.  So I must remember.  I must trust.  My life depends on it.  David knew this, and so he would remember he repeated it over and over again through the Psalms.   I am sure there are more but this list is to remind me.  The list is long.  Slow down for few moments, stay with it to the end and hear the promise of God.
