REMEMBER ME!

Rememberance. Its a word that is used in so many facets in regards to spirituality. God led me to several passages today in Psalms. The first one, and the one I'm going to talk about here is in Ps. 50:22-23

"Consider this, you who forget God,
or I will tear you to pieces, with none to rescue.
He who sacrifices thank offerings honors me,
and he prepares the way
so that I may show him the salvation of God."

God does not attempt to hide the severity of forgetting him... He says that those who forget God will be "torn to pieces, with none to rescue." Not a pretty picture. A big misconception, and a big danger, for many Christians, is the belief that Satan attemps to turn us against God. This is NOT true for the majority. Rather, Satan tries to fill us with forgetfulness of God. If we forget about God, move on in our day, in our lives, over time, without Him... we distance ourselves, and thus become more vulnerable to sin and temptation. It isn't hatred we must so desperately look out for, though that is a danger as well. The biggest concern, is forgetfulness. We must always be mindful, and remember to thank our Creator each day for the very gift of life, and all of its many amazing moments.

Its something that I do struggle with. I find that I often go through my day, putting off my devotions until the last minute... making them the final thing on my to do list... placing God last. One of my newest goals for myself is to set aside a certain time every single day devoted to connecting with God, thanking him for my breath, and my life, and all of the wonders that each day brings... and asking Him, what it is that HE wants for me today.

No better time to start than the present...
