But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does. James 1:25
It is so easy to forget. Each year, I am in awe of the beauty of the red bud trees in our area, as if I have forgotten how gorgeous they looked the previous spring.
I've also become very aware of my forgetfulness as I'm reading through the 'Bible in a year.' I think to myself, "How could all of these kings of Israel and Judah forget God and His Law?" It's easy. If you don't read it and then also if you don't do it, you forget. I just read about the Syrian army leader, Naaman. I remember reading about him, but didn't remember the details or of how Elisha's servant, Gehazi became leprous because of his own greed in wanting a reward from Naaman. May I (and my children) never forget and always read and do all according to God's Word.
