REMEMBER YESTERDAY

If you don't remember what God did for you yesterday, you'll have trouble trusting Him for today.

Another reason for beginning your day with God is that you can better remember what God did for you yesterday. At the end of the day you are either too wound up or too tired to do much reflecting. God has worked in your life in a hundred different ways, but you have no focus when the day is done. Nothing but the biggest circumstances stand out.

If you want to reflect on the small stuff God has accomplished in your life, sit quietly in the early morning with your Bible and your coffee and just reflect. Let God speak to you from His Work, and then close your eyes and let Him bring to mind the wonderful things He did for you yesterday. Soon the little remembrances will dawn on you and wash over you like a sweet scent, and you will realize that God is going to do it all over again today.

Understand, therefore, that the Lord your God is indeed God. He is the faithful God who keeps his covenant for a thousand generations and constantly loves those who love him and obey his commands.

DEUTERONOMY 7:9
