We need reminders

In times past, people would tie strings around their fingers, but more recently, someone is likely to write a note on their iPhone to remember something important.

God made us to where we need reminders. God warned, “Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons’ sons …” (Deuteronomy 4:9; cf. 6:4-13).

In the New Testament, God specifically wanted us to be on guard against drifting (Hebrews 2:1-4; cf. 3:12-13). The apostle Peter wanted his readers to remember the truths that would help them to gain their inheritance (2 Peter 1:12-15; 3:1). Distractions are easy, so we cannot grow weary.
