Pin It Now!
Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number. Jeremiah 2:32
You have forgotten God your Savior; you have not remembered the Rock, your fortress. Isaiah 17:10
Israel has forgotten his Maker... Hosea 8:14
I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. Revelation 2:4
It is no accident you are here this morning hearing what the Holy Spirit has to share with us - loud and clear.
Just as how unnatural it is for a young woman to forget her jewels/fine clothes it is unnatural for us to forget God and cherish not the fond memories of our past affection. Yet some of us have gone astray. We have forsaken our first love.
Hope this is not entirely true in our case. But if we are not consciously making every effort to stay in love, we will be easily carried away by worldly affairs making us remember the Lord less and less. If we are not watchful very soon we will be far from the Lord heading into darkness.
Definitely it is not something that will go unnoticed by God. He would sense the slightest withdrawal from us. What is it that we lack in Him that we forget Him from time to time? That we do not make time for Him? That we go days on end without hearing from Him or talking to Him?
Don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. James 4:4
Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 1 John 2:15
