In our readings today, God chides the Israelites several times for not "remembering the days of your youth." He was referring to the election of Abraham as an idol worshiping pagan made into a great nation, redeemed from Egyptian bondage, and given the Promised Land. they forgot all that God did for them and how special they were treated.
Do we remember all that Jesus did for us on the cross? When we were saved, we were broken over our sinfulness and the grace and mercy of God to offer us the free gift of salvation. Then, we began our walk with God to be conformed into the image of His Son. Have we stayed on the path - ALWAYS remembering the days of our youth as baby Christians - remembering the grace and mercy of God in saving us.
God is telling us to NEVER forget the days of our youth - and all that He has done for us.
