Psalm 78:10-11 says this:
10 They kept not the covenant of God and refused to walk according to His law 11 And forgot His works and His wonders that He had shown them.
Speaking of the nation of Israel, this psalmist is revealing why they went into exile. This nation, above all others at the time, were personal witnesses to the glory, strength, protection, provision and love of the One, True, Most High, Living, Almighty God of the Bible! They KNEW His wonderful works and yet they longed to be just like the rest! Not remembering the promises of God is the very real reason that many born again believers are NOT walking in the victory promised in the Word of God today! We have a better Covenant that is based on better promises (Hebrews 8:6) than they had, and yet people choose to NOT put God and His Word as there #1 priority! If YOU have been guilty of doing this, then repent right now! Repentance is simply changing YOUR thinking to agree with GOD! Whenever you find yourself thinking contrary to what the Word says, REPENT! CHOOSE to decide that when you and God disagree, YOU are wrong and GOD is ALWAYS right! Spending time in the Word will renew your mind to think like Him! Here is that promise in Romans 12:1-2:
12 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. KJV
A like this from the Amplified Bible, too!
1 I APPEAL to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of [all] the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent) service and spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you]. AMP
And also from The Message Bible:
12 So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life — your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life — and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. 2 Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you. THE MESSAGE BIBLE
We SHOULD stand out from the world, and it SHOULD be because of the Light of Life shines through us! Spend time in His presence and in His Word EVERDAY, and the JESUS in you will shine through! AMEN! Here is an older song from Hillsong called "Everyday"!
