One person no one can afford to forget

Another key word in the title of the book is the word forgotten. God can be forgotten by both nations and individuals. All of us can think back to a time when we were sent to the store to pick up a few items, only to return home and discover we forgot one of the three things we were sent out to get. To forget something at the grocery store can be an inconvenience, but to forget our God is a tragedy. The Bible has numerous warnings dealing with this very subject. Psalm 9:17 says “The wicked shall return to hell, even all the nations who forget God. America has embarked on a very dangerous path by turning its back on God. Psalm 78:7 states “That they should put their confidence in God, and not forget the works of the Lord. Another admonition comes from Psalm 103:2 “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits.” Obviously God knows we need to be reminded of His mercy and loving kindness. In America today we have forgotten our creator. Our children are being taught in school that they evolved from monkeys. Ecclesiastes 12:1 says this “Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth”. How can our children remember their creator if they are taught that He does not even exist?
Not only have we forgotten God on a national level, many Christians have forgotten God in their daily routines. Many people have gotten so involved in the daily grind of everyday life, that God has become an afterthought. In Hosea 8 verse 14 we find the children of Israel in a similar situation. The verse says “For Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; and Judah has multiplied fortified cities. The nation of Israel had gotten so busy doing good things for the Lord’s work, that they had forgotten to have a personal relationship with Him. Many of us today are involved in our work, our children’s lives, our Church activities, and we fail to cultivate our knowledge of God. Many other professing Christians are simply caught up in the allure of the world. The major cure for this sickness is to remember the wonders of our God. Psalm 111:2 tells us “Great are the works of the Lord; they are studied by all who delight in them. And verse adds “He has made His wonders to be remembered” We need to meditate on the wonderful works of our wonderful God. One of the greatest passages on the Wonders of God is found in Psalm 77:12-14. “I will meditate on all Thy work, and muse on Thy deeds. And verse 14 states “Thou art the God who workest wonders; Thou hast made known Thy strength amoung the peoples.” As a nation we need to return to the God of our fathers, as individuals we need to return to our Heavenly father.
