Ps 106:7
7 Our fathers, when they were in Egypt, did not consider your wondrous works; they did not remember the abundance of your steadfast love, but rebelled by the Sea, at the Red Sea. ESV
- Forgetting what God had done produced rebellion in them. A grateful and worshiping heart doesn’t rebel. Do you intentionally remember what God has done for you? The Israelites never intentionally forgot God it just happened (2 Chron 12:14). I often feel that I will be okay because I want to be good. I think that I will just slide along and never make the mistakes that Israel made but it isn’t true. They fell into the messes they were in because they jumped on the ride of life and just went where ever the ride took them. They let their focus and meditation be on what ever popped up in front of them. I think this is a temptation for all of us. We all get busy and sometimes just want to ride life instead of deliberately choosing where we will go and what we will meditate on. God help me to choose to follow you to choose to set my heart on you to choose to remember you all the days of my life (Ps 103:2). Help me to live out of a grateful heart. May my meditation always draw me closer to you.
