REMINDERS

As my husband once said, “your desk looks lived in.” …I took that as a compliment!  🙂

The lived-in look comes from piles of papers to be read, reference books, a smattering of coffee stains and occasional cookie crumbs, and sticky note reminders. Tons of them! Without hesitation, I can tell you what’s in each towering mound or if anything has been moved. Yet, aside from my reference books, if it all caught fire, would I miss any of it? …I’ll get back to you on that one!  🙂

My “lived-in” desk and countless reminders shifted to curiosity when I received this post:

Does God need reminders too?

When David penned Psalm 119, “remember Your word to me,” was he questioning the Lord’s memory?

How about when Job asked God to set a time when He’ll ‘remember him?’

Then, consider the thief on the cross who asked Jesus to remember him in paradise? Did Jesus need a reminder?

No, He never has and He never will!

When our children were young, we’d prompt them with reminders such as: “If you clean your room…” “When you finish your homework…” “Let’s do this first, and then we’ll do that.”

While we may need a gentle nudge (or big push), God needs no such reminder.

One of the things I love most about my Heavenly Father is the ability to converse with Him. I love that He waits expectantly for me, for all of us, to come and talk, even argue (reason) with Him about our struggles and questions and, yes, the promises He’s made to us.

“Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the LORD, “Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool.” (Is.1:18, NKJV)

Isn’t it wonderful to have an open invitation to talk with our Heavenly Father? God’s desk is always clear, there’s no waiting line, and no appointment is required. He needs no reminder app–we are His priority!
