Day 43 - Remembering what God has brought us through

Match of the day is a staple appointment in our house every Saturday night. And it still is even now.

But there’s no football on! So what are they doing??

Each week, instead of looking at the recent games and looking forward to what’s coming up, they are looking back and talking about best bits - like the best game they played, the best players in each position, the best goals...

Deuteronomy is a book of remembering. It is all one big speech where Moses tells the Children of Israel what happened before. They were a new generation and needed to know what God has done before. So Moses told them. All about leaving Egypt, walking through the wilderness and all the times God was there for them. Even when they completely messed up.

Right now, we are all starting to get frustrated, bored, annoyed, complacent...

Staying at home was a kind of adventure for us at the start - when we found new ways to keep busy and went back to trying old hobbies. But now - everyone is feeling it. Everyone is suffering.

But what we actually need to do is remember. We need to remember that there was still over 600 people died of coronavirus yesterday. We need to remember that we are saving lives by staying in.

And we need to remember that God has never let us down and will always be there for us. No matter what.

Deuteronomy 31:6 says

“So be strong and courageous! 

Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. 

For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you. 

He will neither fail you nor abandon you.”

‭‭

I know we’ve done this before, but take some time today to remember what God has done for you and what He has brought you through already in your life.

God is faithful and He will continue to be - no matter what circumstances we find ourselves in.  Happy Sunday!
