The three R's of renewal are remember, repent and return.
We need to remember who we once were, what God did for us and who we became in Him.
We need to repent of those things that have crept into our lives that have cause us to drift from what we were when we first came to know Him.
We need to return and do again the things that we did at first.
John says it well in Revelation 2:5 "Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first."
We all need renewal. Moses recognized in the people their tendency to forget, to become complacent and to stop doing the things that they should do as children of God. We are no different than the Israelites in Moses' day. Maybe it is time that we renewed our covenant and we should be prepared to renew it regularly.
