Meditations—points to ponder

You’d think an encounter with the God of the universe 

might be a particularly unforgettable experience. But history tells us 

God’s people were often forgetting Him. 

God needed to reintroduce Himself more than a few times to His people.

 Sadly the history of God’s people is that of forgetting Him. 

If you suffer from exile for too long, you risk losing national and personal dignity. 

You forget that you’re a blessed people. 

You lose track of your origin—your Creator. 

And then you become groundless.

One of the most important things Sam Kee believes he can do for people 

who are experiencing an “exile” of sorts is to give them a sense of belonging—

help them see their connection to their Creator. 

Although circumstances often suggest otherwise, we don’t belong to our captors —

their grip is weak. 

We belong to the God who says, “You are Mine.”

Isaiah 43:1 (The Message) — 1 But now, God’s Message, the God who made you in the first place, Jacob, the One who got you started, Israel: “Don’t be afraid, I’ve redeemed you. I’ve called your name. You’re mine.
