Lest we forget…
I have been reading an old World War 1 novel while I have been recuperating from my latest surgery…the characters are rehashing the daily news, when one speaks up, saying “we need to Remember, lest we forget the horrors of war, the death and destruction of nations, of our families….”..
Not too long ago, I was reminded that one of the generals upon seeing the concentration camps of Germany, called for photographers to take as many pictures as possible, lest we forget the horrors of those scenes….
Records, though gory, remind us of the judgements we rain down upon ourselves when we turn our backs upon God…or the evil which Satan brings when given reign…
Time after time, through the prophets, God speaks of consequences of turning away from Him…and the picture is not pretty…
On the other hand, the promises are great!
“We who are part of that future can see that many of the promises God gave through Isaiah have been fulfilled in Jesus"Christ. We also gain the hope of knowing that God is active in all of history, including our own.” Bible study notes…
Thank YOU…
God of our fathers, known of old, Lord of our far-flung battle-line, Beneath whose awful Hand we hold Dominion over palm and pine— Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget—lest we forget!
