A thought by Max Lucado (2015-09-15) from his book, Glory Days: Living Your Promised Land Life Now (p. 64). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition. (Click on the title to go to Amazon.com to buy the book.) Max continues, “Each time you experience a victory, place a memory on the shelf. Before you face a challenge, take a quick tour of God’s accomplishments. Look at all the paychecks he has provided, all the blessings he has given, all the prayers he has answered. Imitate the shepherd boy David. Before he fought Goliath, the giant, he remembered how God had helped him kill a lion and a bear (1 Sam. 17:34–36). He faced his future by revisiting the past.” Today is the last day of January. This might be time to go back and remember how God has taken care of you this month. Then in the month of February when you are going through that tough time you can go and look and remember what he has just done for you. So how long is your list?
