Remember

The great thing about being a Christian is that there are times in life when it couldn’t possibly get any better. The great thing, specifically, is that the Christian knows that such goodness comes from the hand of God. I wondered to myself recently, what tremendous debt do I owe to a God who blesses me so richly? What does God require in return? That I remember the Lord my God and give all thanks and praise to him. There are amazing tangible benefits to living a Christian life which come directly from the hand of God, and we must always remember the source of these benefits.

One reason for that is that the same God that sends blessings also sends trials - and since God does not change, if we remember his mercies we will have good reason to hope that his mercy will continue through whatever trials come our way. We as Christians should never stop looking to God for our help and blessing; we should always look to Jesus Christ who stepped into the gap and brought fallen man back into contact with the God whom he abandoned in the garden.
