"Lest We Forget God"

  I hurt when people hurt. Many times there is nothing that can be done to those who hurt...but is that true? People go through marriage difficulties seem so helpless and our hearts just hurt for them and we sit and watch. But what else is there to do? People lose a job and they can't find another and we just wish there was something we could do. But what are we doing? There are those who have been released from a prison cell, knowing they have failed miserably as others around find it difficult to give them a break. It makes us hope they find something, someone to give them an opportunity to prove. Just our hope for them, is that all we have?

  What about God? Have we thought about asking God? Do we really believe God can help in the lives of those around? We say we do but do we really believe God is faithful? Do we believe God isn't perplexed over situations? Do we believe that God can cause good in ALL situations because we do love Him and willing follow with all our heart? Do we believe that God will supply ALL our needs according to the riches He has in store? Do we live for the Lord and die for the Lord? We say yes...yes...yes but sometimes our faith speaks louder so we find little reason to trust, to pray and to look His direction. Our dire circumstances take us down. We drown in us! We wish, we want but with little expectation from God, we drown. We get worn down, look at the hopelessness of our situations and finally we find ourselves defeated. In all this, God is still righteous and faithful. Oh how we want to believe. Maybe that's just it. Maybe we want to believe but somewhere in our lives we have forgotten to trust God, to whole-heartily trust God. He can do beyond all that we ask or think, can't He? Maybe it's time to return and visit the heart of our Creator lest we forget Him!
