052916 | We Will Never Forget | Allen Hickman

Memories can be our ally or our nemesis.  It’s all in how you use them.  Mankind has a propensity to remember the negative and throw out the positive with the “bath water”.  However, we must learn that God has created memorials in our life to help us remember His kindness, love, grace and power.  We must take the time to stop, think and remember.  We then need, to not keep those memories to ourselves, but to tell others.  Our children, our friends, our family and our world must know about the greatness and graciousness or our God.

Once Joshua and his generation had died, the Bible says,“there arose another generation after them who did not know the Lord, nor yet the work which He had done for Israel.  The sons of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and served the Baals.”

How could a generation forget about the great works of God in the previous generation’s life?  Because the older generation forgot and never instilled the stories and values into the future generation.  May we not, be a generation that forgets.  May we pass it on by the way we live our life that it would be a memorial to the power and greatness of our God.
