How's Your Memory?

Do you ever find yourself scrambling around your brain searching for a name of a person or a place?  Or do you have a brilliant thought and by the time it's your turn to speak you can't even remember anything about the thought? If you are getting older, you may notice that you are forgetting things more than you used to.   I know that is the case with me.

But there is one thing that we should not forget...  Isaiah reminds us in Chapter 64:

No ear heard, no eye seen, a God like you
    who works for those who wait for him.
You meet those who happily do what is right,
    who keep a good memory of the way you work.

I love verses that spell it out.   God works for who?  For those who:

• wait for Him
• happily do what is right
• keep a good memory of the way He works.

There are times when none of those things are easy.... waiting for Him, trusting His timing, can be extremely frustrating.   Doing what is right isn't easy and to do it happily ... even more difficult.  And then there is keeping a good memory of God and who He is and the way He works.

It's so easy to forget how well God has cared for us in the past when we are facing our next challenge.  But Scripture tells us that that is one of the secrets to getting God to work for us.

I don't know about you, but I want God working for me!
