Never Forget
As humans, we tend to forget things all the time. Our car keys, our friends' birthdays, our passwords... those things we tend to forget on accident, and it's usually pretty frustrating when we realize what we've forgotten. But we can also forget good things that have happened to us.
When faced with hard things, we often beg God for miracles or plead for His provision. But when we don't get what we prayed for, we can tend to forget what God has already done for us. If you've done that before, you're not alone—the Bible is full of stories about people forgetting the good things God has done.
God has hand-crafted this breathtaking world and chosen the unique times and spaces in which we show up. And even though the world seems to get crazier and scarier by the minute, God is always at work in the mess.
We can fight against forgetfulness today—right now—by remembering that it was God who created this world and filled it with good things—including His people! It was God who offered us mercy when we didn’t deserve it. It was God who gave us real purpose: to love Him and love others; to know Him and make Him known.
So how have you seen God show up in a way that you never want to forget? Thank Him for what He’s done, and worship Him for who He is.
The Mission of God
All of our lives are spent on something.
Most people spend their days focused on growing a family, building a career, or amassing possessions. While none of those things are necessarily wrong, they can become distractions from our ultimate goal in life.
In the book of Acts, we see Paul’s transformation in Christ. As a result of meeting Jesus and being changed by His grace, Paul spends the rest of his life preaching the good news of Jesus.
For Paul, God’s grace and salvation were so great that nothing on this earth could compare to doing His work.
Paul said that nothing in his life mattered as much as telling others about God’s grace. His goal in life was to finish his own race well by faithfully accomplishing as much of the mission of God as possible:
"However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God's grace."
