When God is Forgotten

"Remember now your Creator…”
Ecclesiastes 12:1
Today's Bible Reading: Ecclesiastes 12:1–14.
The book of Ecclesiastes closes with a solemn call to remember God before life slips away. It reminds us that life is brief, judgement is certain, and God must not be forgotten. From this text, three truths stand out clearly.
First: The REJECTION of God - “The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God.’” (Psalm 14:1). Man does not naturally remember God—he rejects Him. This is not always open denial, but quiet neglect. God is ignored, left out, and forgotten in daily life.
You may not deny God with your lips, but do you deny Him with your life?
Second: The RECORD before God - “For God will bring every work into judgement, including every secret thing…” (Ecclesiastes 12:14). Man may forget God—but God does not forget man. Every thought, word, and deed is known to Him. Nothing is hidden from His sight. You may have forgotten your sin—but God has not.
Third: The RECKONING with God - “It is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgement.” (Hebrews 9:27). A day is coming when all will give account. The God you forget will one day be faced. There will be no escape, no excuse, and no second opportunity. You can ignore God now—but you cannot avoid Him then.
Remember Him now. Turn to Him. Trust in Christ.
Prayer: Almighty Lord God, forgive me my sin and my forgetfulness of You. Turn my heart to Christ and help me to trust in Him alone. I ask in His name. Amen. Amen.
