We have sinned as our
ancestors did. . .
They
forgot
the many times he showed them his love. . .
But they quickly forgot what he had done. .
.
They
forgot
the God who had saved them by his mighty acts. . .
Yet the Lord heard them
when they cried out,
and he took notice of their distress.
For their sake He remembered his covenant . . .
Psalm 106:6, 7, 13, 21, 44-45
I forgot my aunt’s birthday. I sent her a cute belated card
but it was still thoughtless to forget. This is the aunt who took me on
vacation with her, hosted my wedding and reception at her house, sent me
flowers on my birthday, and visited me when I was in the hospital.
The truth is my aunt didn’t care that her birthday card was
late; she just enjoyed hearing from me. She loves me despite my careless ways. But
how could I forget to celebrate someone who has been so good to me?
And yet I do it all the time to the One who brought me
together with my soul mate, who created the seasons, each with its own unique
beauty, who gifted me with a loving family, who gave me the great comfort of
knowing when my dad passed on it was into the arms of Jesus, and most
importantly, who died in my place. How quickly I forget all that God has done
and is doing for me.
And to top it all off, God doesn’t forget about me. Even though I take all His loving kindness
for granted, He still hears my prayers and takes note of my anxious heart. On a
daily basis, God continues to love and care for me, His ungrateful child.
Grace and mercy flow from our God the Father, who always
remembers, always forgives, always answers, always loves. . .
Will you join me for a moment today to stop and remember the
good things God has brought about in abundant measure over the years?
Blessings!
