Amid time, when all seems full of despair,
To casually or purposefully forget your God
To walk away and not look back?
Can that be a Sin?
This morning, I’m thinking this through.
In the rush of days and restless nights,
If I’ve lost Your voice or dimmed Your light.
When chasing dreams, I wandered far,
Have I forgotten who You truly are?
The world was loud, it pulled me in,
And in the noise, I let You thin.
But now I stand, with heart unsure,
Longing for the love so pure.
Forgive my steps that strayed away,
Lead me back to You, I pray.
For in the quiet, soft, and still,
I find Your grace. I find Your will.
For that thief on the cross
Had but one chance to get it right
Ignoring his fellow criminal’s cry,
Lord… Remember me.
For blinded Saul on that Damascus Road
He had a chance to get it right
Who art thou, Lord?
It is I… He followed Him everywhere.
The problem with Forgetting Christ,
The day may come, and no last chance
To make it right and get it right.
That’s my main reason for not Forgetting Christ.
A Psalm Of David.
Bless the LORD, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
Bless the LORD, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
The LORD executes righteousness
And justice for all who are oppressed.
He made known His ways to Moses,
His acts to the children of Israel.
The LORD is merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.
He will not always strive with us,
Nor will He keep His anger forever.
He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
Nor punished us according to our iniquities.
For as the heavens are high above the earth,
So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;
As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He removed our transgressions from us.
As a father pities his children,
So the LORD pities those who fear Him.
For He knows our frame;
He remembers that we are dust.
As for man, his days are like grass;
As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
For the wind passes over it, and it is gone,
And its place remembers it no more.
But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting
On those who fear Him,
And His righteousness to children’s children,
To such as keep His covenant,
And to those who remember His commandments to do them.
The LORD has established His throne in heaven,
And His kingdom rules over all.
Bless the LORD, you His angels,
Who excel in strength, who do His word,
Heeding the voice of His word.
Bless the LORD, all you His hosts,
You ministers of His, who do His pleasure.
Bless the LORD, all His works,
In all places of His dominion.
Bless the LORD, O my soul!
(Psalms 103:1-22 NKJV)
