Remember a Command

I do like reading orders.

“Do all things without murmurings and disputings:”
‭
“Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.”

“Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;”
‭‭
“Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.”
‭‭
“For ye have need of patience,"

They don't leave me guessing. They're clear, concise, practical orders. I understand them, I understand how they relate to my life. And it's no problem to apply them.
Except for days when something distracts me.
And days when faith is tenuous.
And days when I feel like staying in bed and spoiling myself instead of getting up and giving myself away.
And days when my heart wants what it wants and not what it should.
And days when I second guess my life.
And days when I feel a little empty at the beginning of the day and even emptier at the end.

That's basically every day. I wish I remembered these orders and suggestions and commands the minute something Went wrong, or even right. I have a terrible memory; it's difficult for me to remember these things but not impossible. I'm challenging myself to remember this week. Just one command.
