I purchased a bracelet yesterday. One pretty similar to the one that's in this picture. It's not for outward show, The cross on mine is very understated. It's not intended to be an advertisement.


Instead, it's a different approach.

In the Bible - the book of Numbers, chapter 15 is says: 37 Then the Lord said to Moses, 38 “Give the following instructions to the people of Israel: Throughout the generations to come you must make tassels for the hems of your clothing and attach them with a blue cord. 39 When you see the tassels, you will remember and obey all the commands of the Lord instead of following your own desires and defiling yourselves, as you are prone to do.

It's designed moreso to be something to remind me that God is indeed faithful.

I was thinking this morning about how people forget about God when things are going well, then how they blame him when things are not.

But there's something that goes on in the middle...

People forget God.

Remember, the Bible is a book that chronicles the lives of a people that God had choses to show himself real and alive to that others in the world would remember his benefits.

It's amazing the number of times you read statements like "they did not remember the Lord" or how the forgot his benefits. There's even one part where even the priests have forgotten that the "scrolls" exist - and how when they find it and bring it to the King he's amazed at what is written.

I don't want to be that way.
