We Forget

I have no idea what this is or where it was taken. It is in my picture file on this computer but I absolutely don't remember taking it.
I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you. Psalm 119:11
We seem to have forgotten God in our land. We do not realize or remember all that God has done. I have made it a habit in my life to pray and read something in God's word that I don't forget my God. I pray for children and Grandchildren, I pray for brothers and sisters. I pray for the broken relationships. Just like I have forgotten where this picture was taken, many seem to have forgotten God and don't realize they need him. My daughter was in an accident this week. No harm, to her or the vehicle and I thank God. I thought of the many prayers prayed for her. Someone recently said our prayers are stored up in heaven in a vile and when they are needed they are poured out to cover the need. Much like I do, Papa Johns would pray daily for his children and Grandchildren. I imagine some of those prayers are still stored up even though he is gone off the scene into heaven.  Our memories are short lived, we don't remember and often are not even aware of the protecting hand of God on our lives. In this nation we have forgotten God and his laws. The evil in this land simply amazes me and it is because we have forgotten God. Over the Christmas Holliday there was a twitter storm over the Trump daughters posting pictures of their Christmas celebration. They wouldn't have mattered two years ago, but because Donald was elected President, they are ridiculed for doing the same as so many others in this country do. We have forgotten God. Almost daily we hear something negative about our President. 91% negative reporting on our President and he is doing a good job. He has the welfare of this country on his mind. You may disagree with his policies as we have for years with other Presidents. Remember the ridicule of Trickle down economics, when Reagan was President, yet we felt the effect of his administration. The ridicule of other president. It is evil, yet we can speak good about those that have actually harmed this country. It is a sin sickness at the root of our problems in this country. We have forgotten God. One day we will stand before him and we will not be measured on a scale to see if our good deeds outweighed our bad. We will be judged by what have we done with Jesus. Has a relationship with Jesus altered our lives. We do not have to live in the past, we can have a heart change. I think of the many years I have waited for my son to get over his hurt towards me because I am not his real Dad, but I realize the enemy of his soul has grown a root of bitterness in his heart and it will not be fixed on its own with time, his heart needs to be altered by the God of this universe. We have forgotten God and it alters our hearts in a negative way. The only cure is a heart change from God dwelling in us. Our world, our country is sick, we need God. We have forgotten him and the blessings he has bestowed on this nation. We are still the greatest nation this world has ever seen. The NFL kneelers are free to do their protests, as ill advised as they are because they live in this country. Try something like that in North Korea. God has blessed this nation above any other in recent history, but we have forgotten God. Try tweeting evil words and disrespecting the leader of North Korea. We have forgotten God. We desperately need him in this country and in our hearts. God help us, LVZ.
