all the nations that forget God.”
Where are my glasses? Have you seen my phone? We all misplace things, search for items we know we have but seem to forget where we placed them. As humans, we are forgetters. Forgetting where we placed an important item, a scheduled appointment, a social engagement. And yes, we have paper calendars, digital calendars, apps, reminders- all helping us to not forget.
As a people, are we also forgetters of God? If we are forgetters of God, can we still call ourselves a Christian? Did we pray, make a profession of faith, attended church and have now walked away? Have we replaced God with other things? Are we trying to “gain the whole world yet forfeiting our soul?” (Mark 8:36) If we find ourselves away from God, repent, be restored to a right relationship with Him. Be a rememberer, a follower. “Give up your own way, take up your cross and follow Me.” (Mark 8:34)
Let us not live as forgetters of God but as those changed, transformed by the precious blood of Jesus. Then we can say, like David, in Psalm 9:1-2 “I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done. I will be filled with joy because of you. I will sing praises to your name, O Most High.” Be a rememberer!
