Remember God

 

    Your mental closet is full of memories: good, bad, and indifferent.  You have so much going on in your mind it is easy to forget things, sometimes important things.  The one thing that we need to keep in the brightest part of our mental closet is God.

    There are things in life that you choose to remember and to forget.  Some things are forgotten by accident because of what is going on in life at the moment.  Remembering takes good brain function and discipline.  It takes effort to focus.  

    Did you know that God commands you to remember.  In the old testament He commands His people to remember to protect them.  He gave us the Bible to help us remember.  Remembering was treated like a law to God's people.  Today people use sticky notes, phone alerts, and other trivial systems to remember things.  What would people do if they had to go back and actually remember.  The world would probably be in trouble.

    If you fill your mental closet with junk and clutter it gets messy and dark.  If you keep it clean and God in the middle, then you are able to see and remember what you have more clearly.  Remembering becomes easier because you don't have so much chaos in your mind.  You are able to focus on what matters.  

    Remembering God has benefits.  It gives life and freedom to your soul.  It profits your life in making your stronger, love better, and stay in His righteousness.  Remembering God's character can help you get through the hard times.  Remembering the truth helps you walk in confidence in life.  

    If you don't keep God in the most focalized part of your mental closet, then the lies, clutter, anxiety, frustration, and other bad traits will start finding their way into your mental closet.  It will cause problems and lead you toward a lifestyle of sin.  God is the only way to have true inner peace that last.  He can help you clean out your mental closet as many times as needed, but for your sake it is easier to maintain instead of starting over from scratch every few months or years.
