Will we Remember?

I am having a bit of a reflective day today.  Just so humbled by the God that we serve.

A few verses from last week's study of 1 Corinthians 6 have been heavily on my mind:

"Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolators, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, not thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, not revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

And such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God."
(1 Corinthians 6:9-11)

I was this: _____ and ______.  And I was that: ______.

But now, by the name of the Lord Jesus Christ ...

I am washed.  I am sanctified.  I am justified.

Because don't you think that at times we focus more upon the I was than the I am?

And so I believe that reflecting on Psalm 111 on January 11th is quite fitting for this very day.  I pray you'll take some time to reflect on His mercies today.  That you'll take some time to just praise Him for specifically saving your very life.

That we would take time to remember His wonders ...

Praise the Lord! 
I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart,
In the company of the upright and in the assembly.


Great are the works of the Lord;
They are studied by all who delight in them. 


Splendid and majestic is His work; 
And His righteousness endures forever.  


He has made His wonders to be remembered;
The Lord is gracious and compassionate.  


He has given food to those who fear Him; 
He will remember His covenant forever. 


He has made known to His people the power of His works, 
In giving them the heritage of the nations.


The works of His hands are truth and justice;
All His precepts are sure.  


They are upheld forever and ever; 
They are performed in truth and uprightness.  


He has sent redemption to His people;
He has ordained His covenant forever;
Holy and awesome is His name.


The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; 
A good understanding have all those who do His commandments;
His praise endures forever.
(Psalm 111, NASB)

Will we Remember ... 

The wonders of God in our lives?
