Remember – your Lion Bite word for today
I reminded the Israelites to remember who I was for them, to corporately share the stories. As well as keeping them aware of their dependence on me, it strengthened the ties that bound them together and reminded them that they were part of the whole, part of a bigger story.
In this time, when I am drawing you into a closer-knit sense of community, tell the stories of who I have been for you and remember my body. As you remind each other of the God you serve, allow it to wash your minds with the powerful truth that there is no God like yours.
Remember who I am; remember to whom you belong.
Deuteronomy 6:12 (NIV) …then when you eat and are satisfied, be careful that you do not forget the Lord, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
