Day 49- Remembering

Day 49
Exodus 12-13, Matthew 8

God sure pulled people out of some hefty storms and situations. I think He has come to everyone's rescue at some point, whether you believe it or not. We read how the Israelites celebrate Passover in order to remember the great rescue God provided them from Egypt. As we continue to read about their journey, we will see soon enough that they quickly forget about God's faithfulness to them and complain about even lesser situations.

It is important to remember what God has done for you, both big and small. Whether He healed you in a miraculous way or put food on your table, proclaiming glory and gratitude are in order. As we read how Jesus healed the sick, we can see the different reactions from the people. Many rejoiced and told everyone they knew. Others felt humbled and deeply grateful for the miracles blessed to them. Some ordered Jesus away. 

The disciples even had a rough time remembering how faithful God was and were scared in the midst of a storm at sea. Jesus questions them and calms the storm right before their eyes. After witnessing all of the miracles Jesus performed, they still forgot in the midst of hardship. 

How do you intentionally remember what God has done for you and His faithfulness to you? It's hard to relive the hardships we have faced, or the difficult situations we have found ourselves in, whether we put ourselves there or not, but how do you celebrate and remember God's goodness? The Israelites struggled with this, and even the disciples who walked next to Jesus. Remember what God has done for you, and cling to that as you face the next storm.
