JEREMIAH 51:50 (NLT)
Remember the LORD, though you are in a far-off land,
and think about your home in Jerusalem,
EPHESIANS 2:19 (MSG)
You’re no longer wandering exiles. This kingdom of faith is now your home country. You’re no longer strangers or outsiders. You belong here, with as much right to the name Christian as anyone. God is building a home.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Regardless of circumstances, remember who you are as members of Christ's household.
DAILY FODDER
So many of the bad things which happen in the Bible can be traced to people forgetting who the Lord is or what he's done. It's no surprise, then, that one of the most frequent commands in the Bible is to "remember." What hinders you from remembering your place as a beloved member of God's family? What can you do about your memory lapses?
PRAYER
Thank you, God, for including me at the table of Christ. But I sometimes forget who I am and where I belong. I get sucked into trying to blaze my own trail forward. Continue to refresh my memory of all that Christ has done to secure for me a place at the family table. With your help, I'll not forget. Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
