1 Chronicles 16:15 Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word he commanded to a thousand generations.
The best daily response we could have to the grace and salvation of God is to be mindful always of his covenant. The people need to be reminded regularly of the covenant God made with them. To be reminded, there were covenant renewal ceremonies, three annual national festivals, the weekly Sabbaths, and daily sacrifices and rituals. The purpose was to make them mindful always of God’s love and mighty works of salvation. God’s covenant promise is eternal and He won’t forget, but we need reminders that elicit faith and the consequent good works that follow.
The eternal promise of God needs to touch us and be made active in our day to day lives. We are liable to forget how easily we can forget. We are quickly distracted by the things and matters of the world, and it becomes too easy to ignore God. We get busy, and God is set aside. We need grand yearly festivals, like Christmas and Easter, the weekly Sunday reminder of the Gospel, the remembering in the Sacrament of Communion, and the daily remembering of our Baptism, and in our daily sacrifices and offerings and good works for the benefit of other people. We receive love to give love, and in the doing we are mindful of God’s covenant promise based on the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
