“Remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me.” Isaiah 46:9 ESV
The present moment is singular, but time connects it to all the moments past and future. When I was walking Famous this afternoon in the early summer heat, I remembered many other hot walks, some on beaches or mountain trails, some on racing courses, but mostly I thought of our last summer when we traveled halfway across the country during the most stifling of heatwaves. Today’s mid-eighties heat would have been most welcomed then. Famous is smart enough to head for grassy shade rather than stay on the hot blacktops of streets and parking lots.
God meets us in the present moment, but memory is a gift that reminds us of the many times He has helped us in the past. These reminders give us joy, but also hope and courage for even tougher times we may yet encounter.
Let memory guide me through today’s complex path.
