THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH OTHERS SUFFER FROM US. We are quick enough to feel and brood over the things we suffer from others, but we think nothing of how much others suffer from us. If a man would weigh his own deeds fully and rightly, he would find little cause to pass severe judgment on others.

THANK YOU GOD. GENESIS 8:20-22 20 Noah built an altar to the LORD. On it he made a burnt offering of each type of clean animal and clean bird. 21 The LORD smelled the soothing aroma. He said to himself, “I will never again curse the ground because of humans, even though from birth their hearts are set on nothing but evil. I will never again kill every living creature as I have just done. 22 As long as the earth exists planting and harvesting, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never stop.” TAKE A MOMENT TO THINK ABOUT THIS PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE.

DO NOT FORGET THE LORD THY GOD: 1. “Forget not the Lord” DEUT 8:11 Be careful that you don’t forget the LORD your God. Don’t fail to obey his commands, rules, and laws that I’m giving you today. 2. “Forget not how thou provokest the Lord thy God”. DEUT 9:7 Never forget how you made the LORD your God angry in the desert. You’ve rebelled against the LORD from the day you left Egypt until you came here. Remember past sins and let them not be repeated. 3. “Forget not all His benefits”. His benefits are beneficial and manifold. PSALM 103:2-5 Praise the LORD, my soul, and never forget all the good he has done. He is the one who forgives all your sins, the one who heals all your diseases, the one who rescues your life from the pit, the one who crowns you with mercy and compassion, the one who fills your life with blessings so that you become young again like an eagle. 4. “Forgot not My Law” (Prov. 3:1). To forget God’s Word is to ignore our responsibilities and shut ourselves out of blessing. PROVERBS 1-2 My son, do not forget my teachings, and keep my commands in mind, because they will bring you long life, good years, and peace. 5. “Forget not” “to do good and communicate” (Heb. 13:16). To be a blessing to others is to bless ourselves. HEB. 13:16 16 Don’t forget to do good things for others and to share what you have with them. These are the kinds of sacrifices that please God. 6. “Forgot not the humble” (Psa. 10:12). Jehovah will not forget the “crushed” and “humbled”, therefore we should help them too. PSALM 10:12 Arise, O LORD! Lift your hand, O God. Do not forget oppressed people! LET US ALWAYS REMEMBER THE WORD, AND WAYS OF GOD.
