“Only be on your guard and diligently watch yourselves, so that you don’t forget the things your eyes have seen and so that they don’t slip from your mind as long as you live. Teach them to your children and your grandchildren.
He will not leave you, destroy you, or forget the covenant with your ancestors that he swore to them by oath, because the Lord your God is a compassionate God.
You were shown these things so that you would know that the Lord is God; there is no other besides him. ”
Deuteronomy 4:9, 31, 35 CSB
Why do I need these same reminders about who God is? It seems like these things would be so inspiring and memorable, but the small (in comparison) trials that I deal with are occasionally inflated to take up my entire view…enough to push these truths from my mind.
That must be why God decided we needed this second reminder of the law and His works! Lord, help me to know You and remember Your character especially when I am facing trials!
