Don't Forget God

Psalm 106

I pray blessings on you as you read.

(v. 7) "When our fathers were in Egypt, they gave no thought to your miracles; they did not remember your many kindnesses..." (v.8) "Yet he saved them for his name's sake, to make his mighty power known." (v. 13) "But they soon forgot what he had done and did not wait for his counsel." (v. 21) "They forgot the God who saved them, who had done great things in Egypt," (v.44-45) "But he took note of their distress when he heard their cry; for their sake he remembered his covenant and out of his great love he relented."

My Thoughts


Man, the Israelites were just totally bent on rebellion. Many times over, they disobeyed God and forgot Him. They did whatever they wanted and that was it. Psalm 106 tells us of some of things that God had done for the Israelites, and of how the Israelites continued to leave God and disobey Him, despite what He had done and continued to do.

God even gave the Israelites the things that they wanted. They wanted a king to rule over them like all the other nations had, God gave them what they wanted, with a warning. When the Israelites fell on hard times and they were taken captive, that is when they decided to cry out to God and say that they would do anything if God just saved them. God, out of His great love, saves them only for them to turn away from God yet again. Lather, rinse and repeat.

Please don't follow the example of the Israelites here. It is good for us to follow God, but it is wrong of us to follow Him only on our terms. That's not how God works. If you are not walking with God and you only cry out to Him when you are going through rough times, then sooner or later, God isn't going to help you anymore. God knows your heart and He knows if you are going to turn away from Him again and again. He will give you the chance to change a few times, but eventually He will say enough is enough. That is, unless you truly turn back to Him for good.

We can't live always expecting God to be there for us when we live choosing to ignore God until we desperately need Him. Would that work with anyone else? Your parents, your friends, your aunts and uncles? More than likely not. We need to live according to God's Word and what God wants for us, and we need to live fully for Him alone. We cannot stray from the path that God has set before us and still expect that He will be there for us. God is different than other people though. Other people may give you only one or two chances and no more. God will give you until the day you die to repent, but that doesn't mean that He will answer your call if you won't answer His.

Please don't ever forget about God or what He has done for you or given you or even done through you. You are so important to God, no matter what you have done. Nothing you could ever do can ever take away His love for you or even make Him love you less. God can only ever love you more. Even if we make Him angry with us, that doesn't mean that His love is diminished. Always remember Him because He will always remember you, without fail.
