Memories
are a wonderful function of the brain. Even the most complex super computer
cannot match the human brain’s memory. God intended for us to remember, so he
gave us this capacity to register experiences, thoughts, and feelings. We can remember
feelings like fear and anger when we can't recall the complete conversation
that created the feelings.
Memories keep us on track when a
promise or commitment was made to a significant person or to God. A young mother
was so seriously injured in an auto accident that death seemed imminent. Hanging
on to life in the ambulance, she promised God to love and serve him all her days
if he would let her live.
That
promise has been a memorial she returns to when troubles, trials, and
temptations come to dislodge her from that promise. Another core memory that
anchors her day-to-day living is the commitment she made to Christ Jesus when she
accepted him as Lord and Savior as a young girl. Memories can be a powerful
positive force that serve us faithfully throughout life.
