TOPIC: Don’t Be An Ingrate
Memory Verse: Ps.78:11
“11 And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.”
Bible Reading: Ps. 106:7-13
7 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea.
8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.
9 He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.
10 And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11 And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.
12 Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.
13 They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:
14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.
“Sing along”
When I think, of the goodness of Jesus,
And all He has done for me,
My very soul shall shout Halleluyah,
Praise God for saving me.
How grateful are you to the goodness of God you’ve never paid for but enjoyed? His undeserved mercy that brought you this far? His faithfulness that has overshadowed your unfaithfulness? The goodness of the Lord is something none can count accurately. It outnumbers our imagination, only those who are sincere can think of them, I hope you are not an ingrate? Be grateful for all He has done, that He is doing and all He will do. Don’t be an ingrate as you go to the bed tonight.
God showed Himself to the Israelite in many ways He has never revealed in the past. Taking them out of Egypt by executing all the first born of the Egyptians, He led them to cross the sea, going through the wilderness for forty good years without sickness, but all of these acts of God was forgotten by the children of Israelite. When they see another challenge, they put aside the past miracle of God and start complaining of the present challenges, and all these made God dealt with them in anger.
Are you the same? Hope you’ve not forgotten where He brought you from? Hope you still remember you were nowhere to be found before now? Hope you remembered, it was God who made it possible for you to be who you are? Don’t be an ingrate. As you lay down tonight on your bed, think, if truly you are not an ingrate and if you are, go back to God and show Him gratitude for everything you can remember about your life. Sing that song along as you think through over your life. Don’t be an ingrate. Let’s study together this week again, God bless you.
