It is amazing to me how we are apt to forget the good things, the important things and how readily we remember (and perform) the bad habits, harms and sins. God knows this and reminds us throughout scripture to ‘write it on a rock’–intentionally remember! In our culture, we are so ‘busy’ and reject structure to the extent that we don’t have the reminders built in. The Jewish (and Arab) cultures had and still have the prayer times built in. How we all need to emulate your 9am reminder. Imagine what could happen if we stopped and intentionally remembered who we are and why we are here (I am not just here to clean your house!) 3 or 4 times per day! How would I be a different mom, friend, wife etc?? Would I be able to look up from a task and notice the people around me and see that they are immortals and maybe in need of Jesus with skin on? Would I be able to get outside myself and be God’s instrument more effectively? In remembering throughout the day, I need to be reminded that I am firstly an ambassador. All other roles are secondary.
