353. “Forget Not”

A short memory is a bad forgettory. To forget the Lord’s things is base ingratitude.

1. “Forget not the Lord” (Deu_6:12; Deu_8:11, Deu_8:14, Deu_8:19). Ponder why He is not to be forgotten, as stated in the above Scriptures.

2. “Forget not how thou provokest the Lord thy God” (Deu_9:7). Remember past sins, and let them not be repeated.

3. “Forget not the works of God” (Psa_78:7). Think upon His works if thou wouldest be large-minded, and provoked to praise.

4. “Forget not all His benefits” (Psa_103:2). His benefits are beneficial and manifold.

5. “Forgot not My Law” (Pro_3:1). To forget God’s Word is to ignore our responsibilities, and shut ourselves out of blessing.

6. “Forget not” “to do good and communicate” (Heb_13:16). To be a blessing to others is to bless ourselves.

7. “Forgot not the humble” (Psa_10:12). Jehovah will not forget the “crushed” and “humbled” (so Rotherham), therefore we should help them too.
