How Could I Ever Forget?!?

"For He established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel,...that they may set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep His commandments...."  (From Psalm 78: 5 & 7)

God is referred to scores of times in Psalm 78, so that His People would, "not forget the works of God, but keep His commandments."  Make no mistake; the one who forgets, "the works of God," will forget, "His commandments," and the one who does not, "keep His commandments ("Law/Word")," will not be able to see and remember, "the works of God."  He will just say that chance and coincidence rule. 

"The Word of God," Jesus, in and by Whom Father does all works, "established a testimony in...Israel," so that His People, and through them, the whole world would know that Jesus Christ, the King of, "the City of the Great King," rules in the earth, that all good things as well as all judgment among men and nations come by Jesus Christ (John 5).  And I can tell you with absolute certainty this morning that everything now unfolding in the Earth is under the reign of Jesus Christ, whatever one may call "good," whatever one may call "bad."  I repeat with great urgency, "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked A man (a nation) reaps what he sows."

You know that I have been praying for embarrassment for all in governments who are not surrendered to Jesus Christ, who do not submit to His Words, who rule and "decide" by their own counsel, and/or "Egypt's," and/or, "Pharaoh's."  Most American and global leaders have forgotten and refuse to recognize, "the works of God."  My desire in praying for their embarrassment is that they will, "....set their hope in [the Living Triune] God, and not forget the works of [the Living Triune] God."  If this happens, all who have, "a heart to perceive and eyes to see and ears to hear," will be saved, "come to the knowledge of the truth," and be "leader-evangelists" for those, "appointed...to...obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ."

If you and I will, "not forget," if we will not only take heed to the manifold testimonies of Scripture throughout history, but also recount the manifold faithfulness of our Lord Jesus to us over our life time, then we will go on; we will go on in Jesus, trusting Him, obeying Him, because Jesus, Who is, "Faithful and True," was, is, and always shall Be, "Faithful and True," to His Words, to us eternally.  Ps. 78 helps us all to, "not forget the works of God."

Father, in Jesus' Name, I set my hope in You, and I cannot forget.  Amen.

Pray with me for a, "not forget," message this Sunday.

When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
