Forgetfulness.

During devotionals today, I was reading Psalm 78; the story of my life.

In the 72 verses of this psalm, the tale of forgetfulness is told. It talks about the people of God who, despite seeing the miraculous and wonderful works of the Lord, continue to fall away from Him. Even though they saw the waters parting, manna coming from the sky, and water springing from rocks in the wilderness, they continue to sin "still more against him."And it always takes a hard fall and the "wrath of God" to bring his people back to Him, and even then "...they flattered him with their mouths; they lied to him with their tongues. Their heart was not steadfast toward him; they were not faithful to his covenant." (v.36-37).

This has absolutely convicted me. Yes, I'm guilty of always forgetting the goodness of God, and many times replacing Him with the idols of friendships, football, and even my ministries. Maybe it's time to start back at square one, to remember the goodness of God in everything and to glorify Him with each part of my life.

"He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes and comes not again"
We get one chance to live our life, lets not forget that.
