We live in a world full of reminders. The local news reminds us of what is happening in our community. Social media reminds us that it is our friend from high school’s birthday. Our calendars remind us about the appointment we almost forgot, and our cars remind us when they need gas. Every day, we encounter reminders that point us back to something happening in the world around us.

But what if we were more intentional about filling our lives with reminders that point us back to God? Human beings are prone to forgetfulness, especially when life becomes busy, stressful, or overwhelming. We can know about God’s goodness and faithfulness and still lose sight of them when our attention is pulled in a hundred different directions. Knowing is not always the same as remembering.

That is why remembrance matters. We need to intentionally build reminders of God’s goodness, faithfulness, and grace into the rhythms of our everyday lives. Just as our phones, social media, news, calendars, and daily routines constantly remind us of things, we can create rhythms that remind us of God’s grace, holiness, faithfulness, works, and salvation.

The question is not whether our lives will be filled with reminders. They will be. The question is, what will those reminders point us toward?
