But as time goes on it becomes so easy to let things fade and for the significance to pass us by. For us to lose the passion, emotion and commitment that we once had. This is nothing new, it has been apart of humanity as long as we have been around. We forget, we move on, we let go.

We even do this with our faith. The fires that once burned so hot, have grown cold. Our faith that we once would die for, we now barely live for. So what are we to do? We must always fan the fan the flame and feed the fire so that we don’t forget.

I read a few verses yesterday that helped me remember who I serve, follow and put my faith in. Isaiah 46:9,10

Remember the former things, those of long ago;
I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like me.

I make known the end from the beginning,
from ancient times, what is still to come.
I say: My purpose will stand,
and I will do all that I please.

Wow these verses just nailed me square in my heart. I must never forget who God is, and what He is doing.

And it reminded me of today. 8 years ago we were a nation united by tragedy, today we a nation of splinter factions. So we must be diligent to never forget. Never forget the defining moments of our lives. Never forget the life changing experiences. Never forget who we serve and what God is capable of.

So today as you take a moment to remember our fallen citizens, remember your resolve to uphold justice, honor the lost and comfort those left who lost loved ones. And remember you faith in God, that has seen you through all the trials of life and in the ends brings the gift of eternal life.
