In Exodus 12, God tells the Israelites to put blood on the door posts so that Lord would pass over it and not kill the first born (that’s some heavy stuff!). In Exodus 12:14, referring to the passing over, the Lord tells them: this day will be a memorial to you…throughout your generations…permanent ordinance.
What can I take away from this passage? God did something big and He told them to memorialize the event, tell it to the generations so that they will remember it, celebrate it ALWAYS!
I wonder, if I really sat down and took the time, if I would have enough paper to write all that God has done. Do I remember it? Do I celebrate it? Do I tell my children about it? Do I draw on that faithfulness when I’m struggling? Maybe thankfulness trees aren't just for Thanksgiving.
Psalm 143:5, I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your doings; I muse on the work of Your hands.
Psalm 126:3, The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.
