"Forget not His benefits, forget not his mercies, For He has made me glad, He has taken these old rags and told me me all that I need to be covered by His love. And I will sing of the mercies of the Lord. "
- "Phrases" by Heidi Lichti
It's so easy to get caught up in the monotonous routine of life, forgetting to be grateful for what God has done in your life. How does this happen? We fail to be thankful, fail to remember. I am reminded of the Israelites who continually turned away from following God, even though He had rescued them from their foes countless times, performed many miracles among them, and was continually faithful to them. Yet they would forget, becoming discontented and choosing to turn away from their God.
This pattern can change. I will choose, today, to remember.
God has been faithful to me - I have a roof over my head and food to eat. I have a loving family. So many luxuries have been afforded to me that people in other countries cannot fathom because they spend the majority of their days seeking out basic commodities.
Lord, help me to remember your faithfulness in my life, and to continually seek your face. Let me forget not your beauty and your extravagance, your lovingkindness that never fails. I am thankful today for your sacrifice on my behalf, and for adopting my as your daughter. I will sing of the mercies of the Lord.
