Remember God

"Remember the Lord your God. He is the one who gives you the power to be successful, in order to fulfill the covenant he confirmed to your ancestors with an oath." Deuteronomy 8:18

        I would like for you to recall a time in your life or in the life of someone you know where God did not come through with a promise. You'd probably wrack your brain for a while for that time never has, nor ever will exist. After all His word does say, "God is not a man, so He does not lie." (Numbers 23:19) This is the very reason why His promises are yes and amen.

        This is of extreme importance because it gives us reason to trust His promises in the bible. The promise given in Deuteronomy 8:18 is to encourage us to believe that regardless of the circumstances surrounding us, if we remember the Lord, we will have the power to be successful in life. The bible also says in Psalm 37:25, "Once I was young, but now I am old. Yet I have never seen the godly abandoned or their children begging for bread."

         This means is that we must continually remind ourselves that God is on our side, and He's empowered us to live a life of success and favor. The true key to this power and successful lifestyle is remembering who it is who gives you the power to be that way. So when times get tough don't rely on your own power and strength, for it is His power and strength that has overcome the world. (John 16:33)
