Forget and Follow

Read:  Psalm 45 / Proverbs 4 / Eccles. 11 / Matthew 16

 

Psalm 45:10,11 ~ Incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house; so shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou Him.

Proverbs 4:27 ~ Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.

Ecclesiastes 11:10 ~ Remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.

Matthew 16:24 ~ If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

 

The Lord commands us to forget

Distractions we cannot afford,

That we may live without regret

A life that honors Christ our Lord.

 

Let things below be counted loss;

Let eyes be set on things above,

That we may comprehend the cross

And follow Christ, the Lord we love.
