April 9
Some of us have a difficult time keeping track of things. If we’re a little ‘older,’ we assure ourselves our memory loss has nothing to do with the aging process—some of us have always been absent minded. But there are things we must keep track of if we are to be faithful to the Lord.
We are bombarded on every hand with reasons to allow faith to diminish in our lives. We encounter problems that are demanding of our time and of our attention, we have friends and associates whose lives evidence virtually insurmountable difficulties and our tendency is to focus on these problems.
What we should do is focus on the One who has the answer to all life’s problems. We must turn our eyes to Jesus when we are inundated with the cares of this world. Though we do, at those moments of trial and disconcertion, lift a hasty prayer heavenward, we reset our focus on the need and our own solution to it almost simultaneously. Malachi 3:16 has a better response to the challenges that beset us.
Here it says, “A book of remembrance was written before Him for those who feared Yahweh and had high regard for His name.” Our God and Father has been faithful in the past. He has heard us when we’ve cried out His name at our moment of need. He has not changed. May we reflect upon His power and His faithfulness in our current distress, knowing with all the faith within us that He will be our Deliverer once again—no matter how many times we need Him to be!
