In one of my commentaries I read,'God himself needs to be reminded to act to save his people'. I must say I found those words very strange .We must remind ourselves that God does not forget anything,especially in relation to His chidren. We must not take God for granted,assuming that we do not need to call on Him,in fact we do. because God is sovereign it does not mean that we leave God out our lives,we are to act in a responible way,we must not be selective in seeking God's help, we must acknowledge God in all our way's. (Proverbs 3 v 6) We must lean heavy on our God ,and seek Him contiually,this will please God, He does not need to be reminded,but He desires that we his children would remember, that we are always depending on Him,and He is not to be shut out.We must not be like Samson who sought to fight his enemies,not realising that God had temporary withdrawn from him .God does not need to be reminded ,but He does remind His children to stay close to Him,and to be obedient to Him,alas we forget so soon and wander away from Him. Yes we do wander away in our foolishnes,but thankfully He will not forsake us.God will take action, the hymn writer describes it like this,'When I would wander from the path astray,then He will draw me back into the way'. Yes we might be unfaithful ,but He remains faithful.2 Timothy 2 v13.
