The children of Israel needed a reminder.  Moses admonished the people to respect, follow, love and obey God with their lives.  They were the generation that did not need to hear others’ accounts of God’s acts.  They could say without any doubt, “I’ve seen God work with my own eyes”.  However, despite having first-hand knowledge of God’s faithfulness, the people suffered from repeated bouts of amnesia.

We have history with the Lord.  We have not provided ourselves with gifts, talents, means, or opportunities.  He’s been present, consistent, and always on task.  God is the Author of His intentions toward us and is deserving of our attention and faithfulness.

Now is the time to remember what He has done.  No one else should recall the events of our lives with greater clarity, wonder or gratitude than we ourselves.  We have seen Him work with our own eyes.  We can remember that last month, He was good.  Yesterday, He was good.  This morning, He’s still good. 

It’s news that’s worth sharing and it gives us boundless hope that He will continue to be no less than He has been.  We know, without any doubt, that God is good!
