Remembering Miracles


"Search for the LORD and for his strength;
  continually seek him.
Remember the wonders he has performed,
  his miracles, and the rulings he has given."
Psalm 105:4–5  NLT

     Being a Christian is not something that we can "do" and then forget about.  We often hear the question, "Are you saved?"; but salvation is not a contract.  It is a relationship.

     When we first become Christians, it is easy to see the contrast between our lives as believers and our lives without Christ.  Later, when the excitement wears off, it becomes easy to take God for granted.

     I always wondered how the Israelites, who walked through the sea on DRY GROUND, could ever forget how God delivered them?  When I pray for God's intervention in my own life, I am grateful for the answers to my prayers.  Then as time goes by, I start to wonder if those good events might have happened anyway.  Just like the Israelites, I am also in danger of forgetting that it is God who works miracles on our behalf.

     The Psalmist urges us to continually seek God, to remember his miracles, to know his laws.  It is God who gives us strength.  Don't forget how God has intervened in your life.  The miracles God works for you may not be as notable as a million people crossing the sea on dry ground; but, they are miracles, and God has worked them just for you.
