Renewed Thinking

Have you ever wondered why your memory isn't as good as it use to be? I don't mean while in mid sentence you can't remember what your next word was going to be but when there is an event or something that you knew you would never forget so you could tell someone and no matter how hard you tried, even praying for God to give it back to you, it doesn't return to your recollection. Do you just sign off of it thinking that age is coming and the loss of memory is a sign of what it does?

Well, I have some fantastic news for you! You are not going senile!!!  Give thanks and rejoice. Seriously, I thought senility came early and I was trying not to cry about it. I prayed and even used scripture to solidify my prayers; you know, reminding God of His Word, but it kept happening. My kids would have that look on their faces, like, "it won't be long now." I mean, that sort of thing will make you cease from talking altogether. Then again, that might be the very thing that God is trying to convey. Hm.

Well, the second thing is that your so called memory loss isn't the lack that you might think it is. Seeing that He did not give you a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind, be confident in that (2 Timothy 1:7 AMP). You have a sound mind.

Now consider when we confess our faults. He is not only faithful and just to forgive us, He also puts them in the depths of the sea (Micah 7:18-19 AMP). He doesn't bring them back up to condemn you or to teach you a lesson (Psalm 103:8-12 KJV). The Word states it and God cannot lie (Numbers 23:19 KJV).

With that understanding, you must realize that geater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. You being made in the image of God as you continue to mature in Him being holy for He is holy (1 Peter 1:16 AMP); you will act more like Him.

Why wouldn't you think that others may have confessed their sins too. Because they have, you cannot remember those events because those events which very well could be confessed sins have been dropped into the sea of forgetfulness forever. You can't remember it! Glory to God!
