“O my people, what have I done to you? How have I wearied you? Answer me! For I brought you up from the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery, and I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. O my people, remember what Balak, king of Moab, devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him, and what happened from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the righteous acts of the Lord” (Micah 6:3-5).
We see here a pattern of the Lord reminding His people of His actions on their behalf. The list provided in these verses is only a sampling of God’s great acts on behalf of Israel.
I wonder how my heart and mind might be influenced by reminding myself of God’s great kindnesses to me. I could include: 1) my non-Christian family didn’t try to stand in the way of my coming to faith. 2) A classmate shared Christ with me. 3) I was given a good Bible education in college and seminary. 4) God gave me a godly wife. I could go on for a long time listing God’s kindness.
Thank you, Father, for being so generous to me. Please help me remember these things better. Amen.
