Forget Not

READ: Ps.103:1-22
MORE LESSONS: Deut.6:10-12
Bible Reading in One Year: Proverbs 15-18

The Bible strongly exhorts us not to forget God. This is because God saw ahead of man the tendency to forget Him. Jehovah warns that whoever forgets Him does so at his or her peril, The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God: Psalm.9:17. Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons: Deut.4:9.

One way not to forget God is by praising Him. The Psalm for today's reading has about thirty benefits of God to us for which we should praise Him. The land will yield its increase to the man who praises God, Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us: Ps.67:5-6. Praise God for the benefit of forgiveness of sin (Eph1:7), for the benefit of healing when sick. There was statistic sometimes ago by a doctor who surveyed the number of sick people in hospitals. He and his team discovered that there were fewer Christians in those hospitals, this fact is not by chance. We boldly declare it’s because God heals His people, And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee: Exo.23:25.

Praise Him for daily redeeming you from destruction as you go out and come in (Ps.121:7-8). Also, celebrate God for the benefits of satisfying you with good things of life: food, water, clean air to breathe. Exalt Him for executing judgment on your behalf, and for fighting your battles, known and unknown to you. For these and many other benefits jump on your feet and magnify God. Cease to complain and murmur about the things not yet accomplished; commend Him for the ones He did and use this as a platform to reach out for the ones yet to be done. Choose to remember His benefits today and more will come rolling your way.
