Faith Remembers

Devotional Reading: Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 ESV

It is easy to drift in our expectations, in our belief, in our reverence towards God. I know for myself, and for many, it is easy to lose confidence and assurance in these times. More than ever, we are leaning into different things to guide us and lead us back to ‘normal’ life. It is easy to allow where we are looking for truth and where we are looking for assurance drift and change. Where we once started hot and ‘on fire’, the passion has waned. The drift is real.

Most of the time we think it is because of unfaithfulness that we drift. Most of the time we drift it is because of FORGETFULNESS. I forget where I am. I forget whose I am. I forget about the good things God has done in my life. I forget about the prophecies, the scriptures, the promises…

This is why the Israelites kept calling to mind all the things God had done in the past when leading them out of Egypt. They were constantly drifting, grumbling, moaning, creating new idols and putting their focus elsewhere. But God was faithful to them when they remained faithless. They were calling to mind God’s faithfulness to give them faith.

Have you forgotten the good things God has done and said over you? GOD DOES NOT CHANGE. We need to remember HIS faithfulness today.

We acknowledge that we drift in life but when we say in our hearts and out loud: “God I acknowledge I have drifted but I return to you”, watch how faith and confidence floods your life. Watch how faith grows and amazing things happen. COME BACK TO GOD IN YOUR HEART

Prayer and Confession
I choose to remember all the things God has done for me. My faith grows daily as I remember. Amen
