Forget Me Not

And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the Lord thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish. Deuteronomy 8:19

People are being remembered on all kinds of occasions including: birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, funerals, holidays, and some others, for their humanitarian works and accomplishments. 

However, today, I would like to turn our eyes upon someone who should never be forgotten at any time and that is God and Jesus Christ, the fullness of the God Head.

Do you recall the story of how God brought His people out of Egypt? Well, He brought them out with silver and gold so that they could serve, worship and bring offerings to Him. Later, they took what God had given them to build another god (idol) to serve and worship.  This brought the wrath of God upon them. As a result, many died. This is a very important lesson to note!

God is not against us having things, but He doesn't want those things to have us or become a god to us. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits. Psalm 103:2

Amazing love! When I consider how much God has loved the world and has given us Himself in His only begotten son, that whosoever would believe in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life it makes my heart want to sing and leap for joy.

What a wonder! God had every right to abandon and forget us as His creation, but He didn't. In fact, He chose to love us beyond our shameful, blatant disobedience and more than our minds would ever be able to fathom and comprehend.

Think about this! He  remembered us in our low estate and made a way for us through the shedding of His son's precious blood on a cross to forgive our sins and reconcile us to our God and Father. He did this so that we would always remember Him and forever be with Him . 

Forget Me Not, says the LORD!
