NEVER FORGET!

Psalm 103:2 NLT Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things he does for me.

I was looking through some old photos and came across this little elephant I made back in 2022 and just thought he was a good reminder to be like an elephant who never forgets!😊

There are bound to be all sorts of things we do forget from day to day, but there are important benefits God never wants us to forget that He gives us. 

Psalm 103 says He forgives all our sins, heals all our diseases, redeems us from death, crowns us with love and tender mercies. Then it goes on and says He fills our lives with good things and our youth is renewed like the eagle’s!

That is one amazing list of benefits and we won’t find any like it anywhere else so I know it would help us to remember them all, especially if we have a bad day and we feel like having a grump.

Just the other day I went to take down my calendar so I could check some dates and the nail fell out the wall. As I grovelled to find it, I discovered printer ink had leaked on to some wires and splattered on the carpet! What! Where did that come from? I discovered the black ink in the printer had all leaked out all over the place and if you’ve ever touched ink you’ll know the mess I got myself into! I was having an “Oh no!” grumpy moment to say the least!😊

I’m sure you can identify with lots of similar things that happen to you and maybe you feel the same way. It’s at those times it might have helped me to bring our elephant to mind and start remembering all the good things the Lord has done for me and not to let the negative ones overwhelm me! 

So next time you feel like you’re at the end of your tether, or you feel like having a grump, I hope my little elephant will pop into your head and help you to remember some of God’s amazing benefits you still have that will never be taken away, like the fact that He loves you dearly and His mercies are new every single day. Thank You Lord. Amen.😊
