TFTD: “In every place where I cause my name to be remembered I will come to you and bless you.” Exodus 20:24

It was in-between class periods in high school when we were walking downstairs when it happened. We were at the top of the stairs when I stepped on the back of a friend’s foot and down the stairs I went. First my stuff went in the air and down I went. It was very movie like. As soon as I was going down I just went with it. There was no stopping it because I wasn’t going to regain my balance. I was fine, thanks for asking, but my pride was hurt. I was a little embarrassed. People talked about it my fall for weeks to come. I couldn’t let go what had happened because my friends wouldn’t let me forget, that is until something else happened to someone else and my fall was old news.

            Isn’t this how we treat God and His word? We go to an event or a bible study that rocks our world and we think it is the coolest things since sliced bread, but then a few weeks later the next iGadget comes out and we forget all about it. Then the next youth night we have a speaker that comes and gives this awesome message, and a week later we get a ticket and forget totally about it. Thankfully that is not how God treats us. He never forgets that we are His workmanship and He cares about us forever. He is intentional about making His name known and sharing it with us because He comes to you and blesses you. He has created you in His image and gives you everything that you need so that when we waiver with our faith, He remains constant. When our lives hit a speed bump He is there. When our financial situation takes a turn because of an unexpected event, He is there protecting us. Remember, you are blessed.
