Blessed Forgetfulness

Thank goodness for calendars and reminders; I'm even thankful the outside of the refrigerator is magnetic! God, perfect in His nature and ways, chooses forgetfulness.  The things I'd rather not forget, I do; and, what I'd prefer to remember, I forget  or so it goes.  Here's a truth we must never forget: "I, I am He Who blots out your transgressions for My own sake, and I will not remember your sins." (Isaiah 43:25).  In Hebrew, to blot out means to – don't miss this – to wipe out, obliterate, exterminate from memory!  Even when we erase something, there remains a trace and a remembrance of the erasure. God emphasizes, "I, I am He" the One Who truly forgives and forgets!  Corrie ten Boom said God casts our sins into the Sea of Forgetfulness then puts up a No Fishing sign.  When God says He no more remembers the sins of the forgiven, He means it.  The Blood of Christ guarantees it - secures it - confirms it.  Oh, how Satan loves to bring up the past.  You've heard it said: when Satan brings up your past, remind him of his future.  Yes! Yes! Yes!  Let us ask forgiveness then rest sweetly and joyfully in God's … blessed forgetfulness!
