The call to remember

Deuteronomy 8:10-18
When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the LORD your God for the good land he has given you. Be careful that you do not forget the LORD your God, failing to observe his commands, his laws and his decrees that I am giving you this day. Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses and settle down, and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all you have is multiplied, then your heart will become proud and you will forget the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. He led you through the vast and dreadful desert, that thirsty and waterless land, with its venomous snakes and scorpions. He brought you water out of hard rock. He gave you manna to eat in the desert, something your fathers had never known, to humble and to test you so that in the end it might go well with you. You may say to yourself, "My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me." But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your forefathers, as it is today.

Remembering where I was 2.5 years ago. Reminding myself that God is faithful to finish what He started. Reminding myself that no matter what you're going through (multiple deadlines, exams, tiredness, emo-ness etc), one can draw strength by remembering how He has pulled you through.

Calvary
by Planetshakers

1st verse
I will lift my eyes to You
Where my help comes from
Lord I find my rest in You
Keeper of my soul

2nd verse
You gave it all for me
Maker of Heaven
You paid the price
So I could be with You

Chorus
Jesus, I remember the cross
Where You hung upon that tree
You won the ultimate victory
Jesus, I remember Calvary

Bridge
You reign
You reign over the earth
