I am most likely to forget WHO God is, WHAT He's done, and ALL of His promises when things are on the up and up...when everything is going my way, when I slip, without notice, into self-sufficiency. I again become self-relient and God becomes an adornment that I wear, not who I live and breathe.
The Israelites had Passover for much of the same reason. God knew He was taking them from slavery to the wilderness to a "happy place": the land flowing with milk and honey. He knew they would need a reminder of where they have come from, of what He had done, and of their great need for Him.
My symbol of remembrance: My wedding ring / My day of celebration: My anniversary.
I made a covenant the day of my wedding with God and Michael to live together for Him. May my commitment band most remind me of what God has done and is wanting to do through and in us...ways he has worked in our lives, provided for us, used us. May our anniversary be about celebrating YOU in our lives, instead of ourselves.
