Hatred seems a long, long way from being Forgetful. And yet, when you read these next words, it is surprising to see how close they are to each other.
"The devil doesn't fill us with hatred for God, but with forgetfulness of God." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer
This reminds me that the work of the evil one is very subtle and his end desire is the same - to draw us away from the love of God. If we fall into this trap through forgetting to honour God and to make God a priority, then I guess the devil is succeeding in his mission. What do you think? Am I being to simple-minded about this quote?
Psalm 88:12 - "Can the darkness speak of your wonderful deeds? Can anyone in the land of forgetfulness talk about your righteousness?"
Living in Grace
