Forget not ALL his benefits
Be careful that you do not forget the LORD Deuteronomy 6:12
Have we ever forgotten the Lord? In order to answer this question, we need to understand the accurate meaning of the word 'forget'.
Online dictionary defines forget as follows:
1. To be unable to remember (something).
2. To treat with thoughtless inattention; neglect.
3. To leave behind unintentionally.
4. To fail to mention.
5. To banish from one's thoughts.
6. To disregard on purpose.
7. To cease remembering
8. To fail or neglect to become aware at the proper or specified moment.
Now that we know what it actually means to 'forget', let us repeat the question to ourselves: Have we ever forgotten the Lord?
I am afraid we are all guilty of doing just that based on the definitions above. Unable to remember, cease remembering, neglect, fail to mention... does any of these sound familiar? Yes, unfortunately.
That is why King David kept reminding his soul: "Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits." Psalm 103:2
Let it be our reminder too.
