Word of the Day: Psalm 59:11

Word of the Day

"Do not slay them, or my people will forget; Scatter them by Your power, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield."
Psalm 59:11

There is a small phrase in verse 11 that caught my eye; "or my people will forget." I have read a couple of interpretations from biblical scholars and this verse centers on how easy it is to quickly forget what the Lord has done in our lives. The Bible records many times how God meets the needs of His people and within a short time the people have forgotten and begin complaining about their next circumstance. It's easy to lose sight of what God has done and what He has taught us along the way. My heart's desire is to always have eyes on God, remembering how He meets my needs. I really love how David concludes this Psalm in verse 16 and 17 with worship to our God:

But as for me, I shall sing of Your strength; Yes, I shall joyfully sing of Your lovingkindness in the morning, For You have been my stronghold And a refuge in the day of my distress. O my strength, I will sing praises to You; For God is my stronghold, the God who shows me lovingkindness.
