KILLING AMNESIA

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE

18 The next morning Jacob got up very early. He took the stone he had rested his head against, and he set it upright as a memorial pillar. Then he poured olive oil over it. Genesis 28:18 (NLT)

TODAY’S TO DO
Install physical/visual markers to memorialize the milestones that God carries you through.

We so quickly forget the pain and failures of yesterday. In a way God’s grace allows us that capability so we can move past trauma and turn the page into a new day. We tend to hold on to pleasant memories, but they too fade slowly and the generations that follow will hear varying accounts depending on who tells the story. Jacob had an encounter with The Lord at the place that he called Bethel. There God made a promise of blessing to his descendants. Jacob erected a memorial pillar there for the generations to remember Bethel as a place of worship. This physical marker would serve to remedy the habitual amnesia problem and remind his future descendants to kneel and worship even when the work of living crowded their minds.

Therefore: Install reminders of answered prayers in plain sight. Seeing evidence of God’s faithfulness will encourage you to keep fighting during tough moments and remind you to live a life of worship the rest of the time. There is power in your testimony! Seeing a physical memorial of your “God moment” will do wonders for you and for everyone you will remember to talk to about it. Let your memorial stand tall for future generations to see. Let is say, “thus far, The Lord brought me. I will never forget! This is how I’m killing amnesia.”
