It seems it is always an "Awareness Month" or a "History" month or another, As I write this, I have a NFL football game on in the background, and the players are wearing pink, pink shoes, pink towels, pink hats, it is "Breast Cancer Awareness Month"
I am not saying anything is wrong with all these remembrances, it just seems that there are so many of them, no one pays attention to them anymore, which makes little sense. Make us aware of something that we should be made aware of, but with so much awareness we are unaware, or indifferent.
Aren't you glad, that you don't read in the bible that "Insert your name here" awareness is each year on Jan. 3rd from 1:02 AM to 1:06 AM, Pacific Standard Time. That time is the time God has set aside to be aware of you. Sounds pretty silly doesn't it? We all know God thinks about us, all the time. If He only thought about us are was aware of us, only during this designated time, what would happen if and when things happened to us outside this time?
You see God doesn't have a zillion colored ribbons that He wears for each of us, He doesn't have days, weeks, months dedicated to me and you. He cares all the time.
Pleas don't think I am saying there is anything wrong with all these causes, they do get redundant after a while, but they are all important.(well, maybe not "Paper cut Awareness month")
BUT I will be honest here: I tire of all them, it seems everyone wears a ribbon that stands for something. We have yellow ribbons, White ones, pink ones, blue ones, rainbow ones, purple ones, red ones, ............I have no idea what most of these are supposed to mean.
If God had a closet full of ribbons one for each of us, so that He could be reminded of who's time it was to be aware of, then He would be so busy changing ribbons and thinking let's see who's next, then He would never have time to be concerned with us.
God is so concerned about us, He not only knows our names, He knows our problems, our worries, our stress',our hopes, our dreams, our disappointments, our triumphs, He knows it all. God is not at all like us, He does not need things to help Him remember. He does not need a ribbon He does not need "Chris Awareness month" He does not need a special on television about how a certain events in history changed our nation. He was there. He will never forget.
I am glad we have special moments we remember as a nation or a people, there are some things we should never forget, but what is worth remembering and what is a huge commercial? The NFL has put "Breast Cancer Awareness" But is it a big publicity stunt, or do they really care? I don't know, but I do know God cares about Every aspect of my life.
The next time you see someone wearing a certain color ribbon, or you see or hear it is "Housefly awareness month" or something like that, remember, God cares for you , all the time.
