Psalm 105:1-11

Psalm 105:1-11
Common English Bible (CEB)

  Think about the most delicious cookie you've ever tasted.  Do this for long enough, and you'll be hungry again.
  Think about the best meal you've ever had.  Dwell on the memory for a while, and you'll find yourself craving food.
  Think about the person you love the most.  Remember their kindness and the joy they bring.  Do this often enough, and you'll miss their presence.
  When we think of a person or event, soon we start to relive that experience.  The same is true for God--the more time we spend remembering God's good and generous acts, the more we will be shaped to be a people who long for God's presence.
  This is the importance of remembering the cross.  The more we dwell on the cross, we are forced to think of God's amazing love and the act he was willing to undertake to bring us back into right relationship with him.  The cross shows us God's love, so when we focus on the cross, we are formed into a people who then crave relationship with God.

May you invest time in remembering God's grace and love today
