"You made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But you did not look to him who did it, or see him who planned it long ago." -- Isaiah 22:11

Every generation stands on the shoulders of the previous one. Wisdom and wealth is passed down and received as a resource to carve out a new day. It is far too easy to forget our roots and those who contributed to our success. But this selfish lifestyle has permeated our times with no consideration of the past. We need to remember from whence we came.

Time has done little to change the outlook of mankind. As Jerusalem faced the approaching enemy, she worked diligently to fortify her walls and make reservoirs for dark days ahead. Yet, with all that this people had to draw from, they failed to consider the Source. How easy it was to use the abilities and provisions which had come from God, and yet forget their maker. They failed to consider from whence they came.

When you woke up this morning and walked across the floor to brush your teeth, did you consider the One who gave you legs? Or when you watched the wind blow across the snow covered field yesterday, did you consider the One who gave you eyes? When you finished your work last night and looked back over the day, did you consider the One in whom you live and move and have your being? (Acts 17:28) Remember from whence you came my friend... "For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him." (Colossians 1:16)
