Psalm 97

The last thought in this psalm is a powerful lesson that I need to hear over and over again. "Remember what the holy God has done, and give him thanks." How quickly I forget all that God has done in my life. But I also forget the faithfulness he worked in the lives of those saints who lived before me; whose actions bore fruit that I now enjoy. When I forget the battles that were fought before my life began and the victories that God provided I also neglect to give him the thanks that he deserves. Forgetting is not the practice of a soul in pursuit of God's heart. I need to remember and give thanks.
