Thinking about the past and how it might help us in how we see the future made me think of something my mother-in-law tells me...

"To get a better view of the future, look into your past to see how God cared for you back then. The same God that cared for you then cares for you now." (I am messing up the wording, but that is essentially the message)

Great article! These reminders are crucial for complete trust in God. (:
