FORGET NOT 2

Psalm 103:4,5 He ransoms me from death and surrounds me with love and tender mercies. He fills my life with good things. My youth is renewed like the eagle’s! NLT

Most of us don’t remember as well as we would like to. Things and people that we vow to never forget fade into the muddied waters vof our past, rarely thought of again. We must never let that happen to us spiritually. One of the reasons why a continuous reading and rereading of God’s Word is so important. The Psalmist reminds us in our text for today of two very important things we should never forget.

The Lord ransoms our lives from death. A heart full of sin is not very pretty. Depending on how it manifests itself, the sin within can be very ugly indeed. Not only does it affect the person in which it resides, it often has a very negative affect on others as well. Sin always has victims. People’s lives are destroyed by it. It’s fruit is often seen through attitudes and actions. Gal. 5:19-21 Some people just are not pleasant to be around when their sin manifests itself. The certain end of a sinful heart is spiritual death. Rom. 3:23 Until Jesus is allowed to get involved, an eternity in hell awaits the soul. Remember often what the Lord has done for you in rescuing you from the jaws of death. He paid the price for our sins and set us free from wages of death.

The Lord surrounds us with love and tender mercies. Only in Jesus do we find a satisfying love. Only in Jesus do we find mercy for our souls. Tenderly, lovingly, God withholds from us what we deserve because of our sins. He wondrously pours into our souls His grace and washes away all that kept us away from Him.

The Lord renews our youth like the eagle’s. Oh, dear friend, immerse yourself in Jesus. Soar to heights you never dreamed of. Eph. 3:20-21 Soar freely and graciously in this new life He has endowed you with. John 10:10 Soar, my dear friend, soar high above all that would entangle your soul. Is. 40:28-312 Soar in the riches of His grace. Soar and you will become like Him. Gal. 5:22-23 Soar like an eagle in the arms of Jesus and do let this old life hold you back.
