Remember God's Commands

1 John 2:7 “Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command but an old one, which you have had since the beginning.  This old command is the message you have heard.”

            Lord, I often need to be reminded of things more now,  as I grow older.  I am relieved,  when I read the scriptures that are resplendent with reminders, that I am not the only one who needs reminding.  You, in Your grace and mercy know that, so You had men of old place reminders in Your Word for me to read each day.  Your reminders tell me that You remember things, like Your promises and that even though I have been made a new creature, am but dust.  But, when I sin and confess, You refuse to remember my sin anymore.
            This command to walk as Jesus walked should not be one of which I need to be reminded, but sadly, it is.  Lord. I can get so caught up in the “daily” that sometimes I forget the “important” (not the “urgent” because that has a way of taking over sometimes.)
            Thank You, Lord, for Your gentle, loving, and patient reminders in Your Word.  You know me so well and know just when I need to read a certain passage and why.  I praise You for that!  Help me today to walk as You walked.  I want so much to be a blessing to others for Your sake.
