A Good Memory Brings Comfort to God's Child (Psalm 119:49-56)
The psalmist is in the midst of affliction and in the process of waiting on God for deliverance. However, in the midst of his waiting He calls on God to remember His Word, and he himself is comforted by remembering the past works of God on behalf of His people; and by remembering God’s nature and character. The remembrances and thoughts of God that comfort the psalmist and strengthen his love for God and hatred of wickedness, are all centered around God’s word.

What Then Shall We Do? - Love, Mercy, and Justice part 7
Two weeks ago at Sovereign King, we looked at a passage in Micah where God was literally holding court against His people. In His case against them, He accused them of forgetting several key things. They had forgotten… That God had taken them from slaves and made them children. That God had protected them from their enemies when they came into the Promised Land. That God had not always punished them as their sins deserve. That God had given them the freedom to worship Him without fear. Our take away from that sermon was that even though we may remember what God has done for us in the past, just remembering is not enough. If that memory doesn't give us hope for today, then we are essentially forgetting God as well. I encouraged us all in the day to day to remember what Jesus has done for us by His work on the cross. We can do that in some very simple ways: By sharing with others what Christ has done for us. By recognizing that Jesus' death was sufficient for us and therefore not living in guilt. By celebrating the fact that when we are faithless, He is faithful still. As we return to the book of Micah and we find that God's court case has come and gone, the people of Micah's time finally get around to asking the right question. They want to know, "Well, what should we do?" Now it is difficult to determine exactly out of what motivation the people of God were asking their question, but I do think this is the best time to ask that question. Knowing that God has been, is presently, and is always going to be faithful to you because of Jesus Christ, that is the perfect time to ask Him what He would have you do because you know that no matter what, even if you fail or succeed, God is going to be there for you. This is sort of like learning to ride a bike when you were a kid. My experience wasn't very good because my brother put me on the bike at the top of a hill and just pushed me down. I wound up with a broken nose, so that didn't end very well. No, most folks have a parent walking beside them, steadying them on two wheels. And if the child starts to fall, the parent catches them. Eventually, the child figures out that they can risk falling and risk riding because they know they have their parent there to catch them either way. That's what it is like if you are asking God what He would have you do when you know that He will be faithful to you even if you are faithless. So having said all that, in the sermon this Sunday, why don't we seek to answer the very question that the people of God were asking. They asked that in light of God's faithfulness, "What should WE offer back to God?" Let's find out.

I Remember You - Love, Mercy, Justice Part 6
I knew a couple who told me a story about the morning of the wife's birthday. This couple generally made a big deal out of birthdays. I can relate because Amy and I are like that; birthdays in some ways are bigger than Christmas for the two of us. Well, this couple got up in the morning, and the husband didn't mention anything about the wife's birthday. At first, she thought maybe he was going to surprise her and was just playing it cool, but after a few hours, she started to worry. Well, the time came for them to head to the wife's family's house to celebrate her birthday, so she said, "I guess we need to head to my parent's house." The husband was getting ready to ask, "What for?" when the reality that he had forgotten her birthday hit him full on. Now instead of manning up and just saying, "I forgot sweetie; I'm sorry," he said, "Oh, hey the money was tight this week so I couldn't afford to get you a card. I'm sorry, but hey, happy birthday." Now, we've all forgotten something that was important at some point in time whether it was a meeting or even a commitment. Sometimes those slips ups come from just being busy, and sometimes they come up because honestly we are just not very considerate. But when we forget something really important, it hurts the people that are involved because when we forget something for someone, it is like forgetting them personally. That is the point that God is going to make in the book of Micah this week: forgetting what God has done is the same as forgetting God. So we should approach our study from the book of Micah this week asking, "What have we forgotten that God has done for us, and what would change about our life if we remembered?"
