I have a short memory. It seems to be getting worse these days. Just ask my wife. I have a short memory. It seems...
So lame joke but I have noticed lately that I have trouble remembering things. Unfortunately the thing I forget most often is that God is able. And I have seen God work in the past, but how often I forget about the things he has done.
I was reminded of God's provision today. Last week I attended a budget meeting for our church. We discussed an outstanding debt that had to be paid by the end of the year. Looking at the numbers, there was no way possible it could be done. And with an economy on the rocks and a local economy hit hard by Hurricane Ike, it seemed even more impossible that this debt would not be paid.
This morning I received an email from my pastor. Some "unexpected" and "generous" donations came in this week. With those donations we will be able to pay off our debt before year-end. God is capable of meeting our needs. I know that. But I often forget (or choose not to believe).
Sometimes all I need to jog my memory is a little reminder. Today I got a reminder that God is faithful to provide.

Thanks, Huck - I needed the reminder myself this morning.
or a red sox win;
sox fans are great w/ looong memories of disaster, but short term memory loss of good things going right.
you think god reads the box scores?
i think he forgives how many times we have horrible LOB and RISP stats, abandoning our faith to fix things ourself.
