Oh how I have missed my blog so much! I cannot say how happy it makes me to be writing once again. Now that I am back, and that is for good, I want to share what God has been whispering to me these past few weeks. Three words: Do not forget.
"Be careful not to forget Adonai your God by not obeying his laws, rulings, and regulations that I am giving you today." Deuteronomy 8:11
God continually blesses me more than I can imagine. He shows signs and wonders, miracles day by day, and above all, He shows me so much love. Yet, I forget. I forget all the things God has done for me. I will say, 'Thank you Lord', and proclaim the name of God believeing that I will serve Him with everything I am. However, the next day comes, I forget God's blessings, and I turn back to living for myself.
"Oh, how I wish their hearts would stay like this always, that they would fear me and obey all my laws;so that it would go well with them and their children forever." Deuteronomy 5:26
The people of Israel said they would listen to everything God told Moses and do it. They made this as a promise to God. But within days, they went to worshipping idols. It grieves God that His children forget Him. Reading through the books of moses you find that everything is repeated. Deuteronomy begins as an overview of all God has done for the people of Israel so that they will remember.
Do not forget. These are the words spoken to me by God that I may never forget the blessings He has shown me.
how prone we are to forget. One of the reasons I keep journals, so that I will have evidence of His fingerprints in my life. One forgets the Lord, sometimes unintentionally. I'm grateful that He reminds us of His existence and what He's done through His Word.
