Today’s Bible Reading: Exodus 12–13; Psalm 21; Acts 1
Scripture Focus:
Exodus 13:14 So it shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What is this?’ that you shall say to him, ‘By strength of hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Observation:
God was the one who started the whole idea of holidays. God used them to help his people remember times when he did something special for them. The mighty acts and faithfulness of God are meant to be passed from one generation to the next.
Application:
Forgetting what God has done for me in the past is a sure way to lose my faith in him for the present. That’s why special days like Christmas, Easter and Communion are important in my spiritual life. It might even be a good idea to have some personal days of remembrance that I place on the calendar and remember each year with thankfulness.
Prayer:
Abba Father, thank you for your faithfulness! May I take time each holiday to remember what you have done for me!
