REMEMBER NOT TO FORGET
Read 2 Peter 1:12-21
"Be careful that you do not forget the Lord". Deut. 6:12
THE STORY--is told of three elderly spinster sisters who lived together. As one straddled the tub for her evening bath, she yelled to the others, "Was I getting in the tub or out?" The second sister, pausing half-way up the stairway, thought for a moment, then called to the other two, "Was I going up or down the stairs?" Exasperated, the third sister, in the kitchen, said to herself, "I hope I never get as forgetful as those two..." Then, taking her hand and knocking on the counter said, "knock on wood." Hearing the sound of her own knocking, she called to her sisters, "Would someone please get the door!?"
Will Rogers once said, "We don't need to be taught a lot, we just need to be reminded a lot."How often we need, not to be taught, but reminded. So Peter reminds his readers to "never forget these important things": Jesus is coming back (v. 16); He is God's son (v. 17); God is sovereign (v. 18)and His Word is certain (v. 19).
Remembering these truths, today, may help us stand a little taller, stay a little firmer, and stride a little straighter. Remember not to forget.
