Wear Your Seat Belt!
The automobile auction I attended was selling cars to benefit charity. Vehicles were classified as "running" or "no start". One of the no-starters was on the block. It had a shattered windshield, two missing tires, a sagging front bumper, a cockeyed grille, the hood sprung up at an angle and dings and dents everywhere.
Before he started the bidding, the auctioneer announced the car's year, make and model, then read these comments from the owner: "Please note, the radio does not work."

Malfunctioning of Our Memory
SelectedOne problem we face as human beings is the malfunctioning of our memory. We remember what we are supposed to forget, and we forget what we should remember. God says, "Your sins and your iniquities I will remember no more." (Hebrews 10:17) Yet many Christians go through life shackled with the memory of sin God has forgotten. I meet many people who are still chained to failures of the past. Paul said, "Forgetting those things which are behind."
But we need to ask God for a good memory concerning the help He has given in the past. For some reason, we forget the mercies and blessings of the past. Our God has cared for you thus far. Continue to trust Him. His care is sure and steadfast. "Yesterday God helped me. Today He will do the same. How long will this continue? Forever -- praise His name!"
