Grateful not Forgetful.

When men and women spend time with GOD in prayer and HIS Word, GOD's extraordinary Spirit shines out of their lives - Daniel 6:3

Daniel lives in the lion's den and comes out alive! Like JESUS came out alive from the tomb.

We serve a living GOD who loves us.

The reason the Israelites got rebellious is because they failed to remember what GOD did - forgetfulness in the things of GOD.

Each and every born again believer is what Job was in the first chapter of Job: upright, righteous and blameless. Only because of what JESUS did for us.

We want to be people who seek GOD. Who seek GOD not just in an aspect, or just in a prayer or  in a situation. But to seek GOD with all my heart! (Jeremiah 29:13)

Even if I had 1000 hearts only GOD would fill each heart. David was such a man. Only a man whose heart fully belongs to GOd could write the Book of Psalms.

How do we seek HIM?
Jeremiah 27:7 says I will give them a heart to know me. Consider this...HE gives me a heart to know HIM. HE makes everything so easy for me!

GOD came to live in the tabernacle amidst HIS people and they looked the other way!!!
We too look the other way. People, relationships, careers, life's details become more important. Now that's where forgetfulness begins. That's where we get familiar.

On a dark rainy day we dont see the sun....in our dark trials we don't see GOD. We think GOD has forgotten me.

The reading of HIS Word will bring us will help us grow from grateful to faithful to wise (Psalm 119:105, Romans 10:17)

When we go through life we don't want to be forgetful, foolish and fallen but we want to be grateful, wise and faithful.

Going through a season of tremendous trials ?
I encourage you to think about 5 things to be grateful in the middle of your circumstance...
