Man May Not Forget, But God Does

"And Jesse begot David the king. David the king begot Solomon by her who had  been the wife of Uriah." Matthew 1:6 NKJV

The author of Matthew, many years later, just had to restate the fact that David gave birth to Solomon through another man's wife; Matthew had to remind the world of David's sin, or David's error if you like; Matthew wouldn't let it go; he had to remind the world and generations to come that David was an adulterer, a murderer and wife snatcher! Even Rahab was still referred to as a harlot in Hebrews!

I'm sure you've met people like that; I guess it's a part of our human nature; sometimes it's our parents and friends who are quick to remind us of the wrong things we did years ago; sometimes, it's even members of church who should have the mind of Christ; sometimes it's even your pastor, or colleague at work who uses your past to determine your present and future. And of course Satan specialises in reminding us of our past.

But I've got good news for you today; man may not forget but God does! Man may tag you to your past wrongs permanently but I assure that what men think and say about your past is absolutely meaningless and strange to God! Psalm 103 verse 12 says that "As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us." Hallelujah! So don't let whatever men may say or call you affect you; walk in the light of God's present opinion of you. Amen!
