Repeated Warnings!


Proverbs 3: 1
My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart…..

I’ve been reading in the Old Testament as of late, and is it just me, or does God’s warning from His Word, seem to repeat itself a lot?
Could it be that we forget so much of what we’ve learned, or what we should already know?

It should be fundamental by now, but if we always remembered God’s mandate, we’d probably have something fruitful to show for it.
It’s probably because we don’t read God’s promises with a whole lot of faith, or overall understanding.
I’ve personally learned, that my forgetter works pretty good.

Why is that we sometimes forget the things of God, but don’t forget the exact time of our favorite TV show?
We forget to pray—to study His Word—to offer service in the church—to obey God’s Word.
Maybe it’s because we find the subject matter uninteresting or unimportant.
Aren’t you glad, that God doesn’t forget about us?

What teaching from God, do you need to call to mind?
Is there an area of faith, that you need to remember?
If God’s commands were truly in our hearts, we probably wouldn’t forget them.

Funny thing…..If we forgot the teaching from the WDMV, most of us wouldn’t have a drivers license……
