Lord, You have blessed us so much. Help us never to forget this.

Joshua 4:1-24
Lord, You have blessed us so much. Help us never to forget this. We look at the world You have made for us - and we say, "Thank You, Lord." We look at the Saviour You have sent to us - and we say, "Thank You, Lord." Why must we keep on remembering You? - We "remember" so that we might learn to fear You (Joshua 4:23-24). We remember so that we may have hope for the future - "times of refreshing" (Acts 3:19).

A confession of faith in Jesus is followed by a rebuke from Jesus

A confession of faith in Jesus (Mark 8:29) is followed by a rebuke from Jesus (Mark 8:33). How did Peter get from confession to rebuke? - Satan slipped into his heart and mind, leading him away from the Lord Jesus. Did Jesus give up on Peter? - No! Jesus was still speaking to all of His disciples. He was speaking to them about following Him (Mark 8:34-38). Jesus was still including Peter among the three whom He chose to be with Him on the Mount of Transfiguration (Mark 9:2-13). Was this the Kingdom of God coming with power (Mark 9:1). In one sense - No! There was - and still is - more to come. In another sense - Yes! This was real. This was God among them. This was life-changing. Years later, Peter recalled that he had been with Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration (2 Peter 1;16-18). This was something special, something unforgettable. Was Peter made perfect on that day on the mountain? No! He failed the Lord at the time of crucifixion, but, again, Jesus didn't give up on Peter - and Peter was restored, and he became God's chosen vessel to bring salvation to 3,000 people in a single day (Acts 2).

“Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners” (1 Timothy 1:15).

Do we stop believing this just because it comes to us from a long time ago?
No! We keep on saying, “Praise the Lord! It’s true!”
We keep on singing the song of our Saviour.

I'll Not Forget You

 "The Lord has forsaken me,  the Lord has forgotten me.’ (Isaiah 49:14).
Sometimes, this is what we say to ourselves.

"I will not forget you!" (Isaiah 49:15).
Always, this is what the Lord says to us.

I'll Not Forget You
Sarah's waiting in a crown of silver hair
Maternal heart still aching
A promised ray of hope, a child to bear
No child is here, is this not fair?
Her labor of love has no device
Faithful in silent sacrifice
Has Heaven forgotten?
Is God still there?
He says, "Learn to trust me"
"I'll not forget you,
I'll not forget you,
I'll not forget you,
I'll not forget you"
Abraham is marking time as years go by
Hiding his pain in laughter
And every night he's counting stars that fill the sky
So sure his dream has passed him by
Doubting, his vision's not so clear
What did God say, what did I hear?
Has heaven forgotten?
Is God still there?
He says, "Learn to trust me"
"I'll not forget you,
I'll not forget you,
I'll not forget you,
I'll not forget you"
Ooooh!
Oh! And every day in pain, I wait
I can't help but wonder why
You promise me your love and say goodbye
Please don't say goodbye!
I'll not forget you
I'll not forget you
I'll not forget you
I'll not forget you, oh!
When you walk alone
When you break inside
(I'll not forget you)
When a loved one dies
(I'll not forget you
I'll not forget you)
When your youth is gone
(I'll not forget you
I'll not forget you)
Oh in an empty home
(I'll not forget you
I'll not forget you)
When your health has gone
(I'll not forget you)
