I Don’t Want To Forget

Psalm 119:16, “I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.”

When I feel discouraged, I will not forget God’s word and the many men and women in the Bible who have found victory through trusting in God’s ways.

When I feel angry, I will remember that God’s word tells me there is a right way and a wrong way to handle a matter.

When I feel confused as to which way He is leading, I will remember that from the beginning, God said that if His people who are called by His name seek His lead, He will show the way.

When I need a friend, when I feel happy, when I am anxious, when I know sadness, when I lose a loved one, when I am battling against the powers of this world, there is guidance in God’s word. Have I failed to remember? Do I neglect to keep God’s precepts in my mind and heart? It’s all there and profitable for “doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:” (2 Timothy 3:16). In this day and age, if we cannot find a helpful Bible verse manually, we can “Google it” and find what we are looking for and even Bible commentary helps. The key is to keep looking. Keep remembering that “there’s a verse for that”.

I don’t want to forget.
