Remembering God's Blessings

      Will you remember tomorrow what the Lord did for you today?   There seems to be those times when we forget everything that God did for us in the day before.  I can say that God brought me through a dreary day both physically and emotionally.  Even though we might say at first,  "Yes, I do remember."  However, that is quite often, not the case.  A good example can be seen in the Old Testament with the flight of the Hebrews from Egypt to the land of Canaan.  God did miraculous things to get them out of the country even to the point of parting the Red Sea in order that the people of Israel could go across on dry ground.  That, and many other miracles, were in the minds of the Israelites.  As time wore on, they soon forgot what the Lord had done for them.  Psalm 106:24-25 says, "Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:  But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD."   
        This Psalm along with Psalm 105, has been tracing the history of the Israelites and recalling what God did for them.  The convicting part comes in verse 24 and 25 when it simply says "...that they believed not His word.  But, murmured in their tents..."  The two things seem to go together.  First they didn't believe what God had said to them.  Soon after, we find them murmuring in their tents.  Naturally, they were murmuring against God and against the leadership of Moses.  When salvation comes to a person, they soon find a new joy in their hearts and life seems to be overflowing with goodness.  The new believer has a different attitude and a different outlook on the situations of life.  God has just done something wonderful for them.  Some, however, soon forget what God has done and the slowly begin to doubt and then to not believe God's Word.  Murmuring is soon to follow.  Things may not be going the way that you expect them to go.  Instead of focusing on what God is doing, you begin to doubt and to criticize.  If you are in this situation right now, then you need to reflect just a moment on what God has done for you and then turn your eyes upon the Lord.  Believe His Word.  He has always been faithful to you in the past and He will be faithful to you today and tomorrow.  Praise God that He is still working in all of our lives.
