My recently turned six-year-old is an emerging reader. He was standing right beside me when I was positioning the Midweek Meditation card you see in this week’s photograph.
“It’s a reminder, right?”
I was busy positioning my phone for the right angle for this shot. “What?”
He tried again. “Isn’t this a reminder?”
My son wasn’t getting my full attention. I was wondering, a little lower? To the left?
“Dad—” He started his question a third time. It was then that I realized my son's gift. I smiled. These weekly meditations are, in fact, reminders.
The “reminder” this week is from the Apostle Paul who says, “Do not lose heart. Even though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed day by day (2 Cor 4:16).”
APPLICATION: Let's let our outer nature waste away each day by inevitable events (including distractions!), so that something far greater happens. The something far greater is our abiding and abounding renewal. So often, this renewal stands beside us to remind us of what is good and right and true.
