We are in danger of forgetting that we cannot do what God does, and that God will not do what we can do.

But God is the God of our yesterdays, and He allows the memory of them to turn the past into a ministry of spiritual growth for our future. God reminds us of the past to protect us from a very shallow security in the present.
