“Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.”
1 Samuel 12:24 (KJV)
Samuel’s farewell to Israel ends with a simple charge: fear the LORD and serve Him faithfully with all your heart, and remember the great things He has done for you. Remembering is a spiritual practice. When we forget God’s past faithfulness, present troubles seem larger. When we remember, our trust steadies. Stone has a long memory. It holds warmth from the sun long after evening falls. Let your heart hold God’s goodness like that. Take a quiet moment today to recall a few great things He has done. Consider them, and let them shape how you serve.
