Monday is Veterans Day in the US or as it is known in much of the wold, Remembrance Day. Even though Veterans Day is set aside to honor all who have served in the US Armed Forces and Remembrance Day focuses on those who have given their lives in the line of duty, the point is the same: Remember. Remember those who have served. Remember those who have fallen.
Many times the further we move away from an event’s occurrence, the more difficult it is to remember the details, until they slowly slip from our mind. That is why it is important to have a day (November 11), a symbol (the red poppy), and events (parades and memorials) to jar our memories.
In our own lives, no matter how good God has been to us, as the days pass, those memories begin to fade, so as soon as difficult times rear their ugly head, we once again doubt God’s providence and protection.
Perhaps that is why it is so important to have things to remind us of his goodness and faithfulness: a journal, a verse, or in this case a song. I am attaching one of my favorite songs––“I Remember”––by one of my favorite artists––Lauren Daigle––to remind us all––to remember Him.
