Take Heed!

Hey, Y'all,

Today's RST is short but solid; gotta remember to make it a point to remember, 'cause Lord knows we're prone to amnesia (or maybe it's just me again :-)

"Take heed, and guard your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes have seen and lest they depart from your mind and heart all the days of your life. Teach them to your children and your children's children..."
Deuteronomy 4:9

There are so many things to chew on in this passage--here're a few:

"Guard your soul diligently" -- half-hearted (or actual disregard in my) efforts will not suffice as we do have an Adversary and his greatest joy is our misery.

"Take heed...lest you forget" -- yeah, 'cause that never happens.

"Lest you forget the things which your eyes have seen and lest they depart from your mind and heart" -- this is the crux of the matter: He's been mighty good to me, I've seen it with my own eyes, yet how often does that fact "depart from my mind and heart" (interesting too how it addresses both my logical and emotional ways of remembering).

"Teach them to your children and your children's children..." -- no greater joy, no greater responsibility.

So there you go--any thoughts?

"Take heed, and guard your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes have seen and lest they depart from your mind and heart all the days of your life. Teach them to your children and your children's children..."

You've been prayed for today...
