I was struck by an amazing truth! When you’re not well, but (well enough to) get up and get dressed, you do feel better. How much more, when we get up, and no matter how we’re feeling, dress ourselves with God’s presence and dress ourselves with His Word! What a difference that makes!
Are there things in our lives which we do, things that we know God has led us into, and which proved fruitful and productive for that time, but which are now not working?

A key reason why we too need reminders. To think again of all that the Lord has done in the lives of the ones we’re remembering, which has an impact in our own lives.

Casting a Christian Vote. Every political decision will have its impact upon us or our loved ones somewhere along the line. This is about the responsibility, the right, the privilege we have as Christians, and citizens of a democracy, to vote, and have our say. We must Vote!
