One of the most basic commands in the Bible is to remember - several references point to the importance and power of memory. The Lord didn’t want it to be difficult for us to remember His activity and blessings. For example, in the Old Testament days, He used festivals that the people were required to celebrate, or He instructed them to make piles of rocks. I believe that a tool we have today to help us remember His miraculous work in our lives is to capture our pictures and stories in Faithbook photo albums.

Faithbooking provides us a tangible and simple method to review our God stories. And our Faithbooks will not only benefit us today, but they will be there for future generation to benefit from as well.

You may be wondering why it’s necessary to create Faithbooks in order to remember God’s work in our lives. Well, the Bible gives us some insight and a warning about those memories of ours that confirm WHY we need a written record.

In Deuteronomy 4:9, Moses tells the people, “Be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen, or let them slip from your heart as long as you live.”

Alan Wright author of The God Moment Principle makes this statement, “Even mature, well-meaning Christians have an incredible ability to forget the extraordinary moments of God. The memory dulls. The moment loses its luster. And soon, the life changing power is gone – spiritual amnesia has set in.”

Again, by creating Faithbooks, it is one method to ensure that we will NOT forget the amazing feats God has performed in our lives. Once these stories are recorded in photo-safe albums, they are there for generations to see and remember. And when we have these miraculous stories accessible to us, the benefits are many.
