Remembering (Psalm 106, Part 2)


Remember Egypt (verses 7-42)
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+106%3A7-42&version=NIV


How easily we forget God and turn to idols—money, success, pleasure. We sacrifice our children to fashion, wealth, and entertainment. We must not deal leniently with this idol worship. If we mix with the world it will become our master. May we diligently plead with God for the guilty world around us, and our own sin. Sinful life is religious prostitution and  sinfulness is as real in God’s people as in the rest of humanity. May we grasp the power of intercessory prayer, not forgetting the miracle of our redemption.

O Lord God do not withdraw from us. Remember the grace You promised to sinners through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Enlighten our eyes to see the abomination of sin. Keep us from idol worship. Help us to avoid all manner of evil, and flee to the cross of Christ, our only refuge.
