It seems so easy for me to forget. I forget almost anything that I need to remember, from my keys, my cell phone, I think that even though my head is attached I forget it at times. One thing that I seem to have forgotten lately is who I am living for. O not that I have strayed completely from Christ, or that I have stopped listening to His voice, and left His path. But that I have forgotten that it is not my life. it is not what I want, its not in my time, not my goals and ambitions, no its not about me at all. God Has led my into places and things that I really enjoy and desired, and that seems make it so much easier to forget that He is the boss and try to take this train down my own track. Matt 10:39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. What a trade my life that is miserable for His life of joy,and peace. My life of worry and regret for His life. Matt 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Not My will but thine be done

Caleb,
That is a great reminder for me, too! It doesn't matter where you are in life, the temptation is always there to forget to let go and to take the reins (or try to) of your own life and try to manipulate things for your "own good." I say "own good" in jest because we, stupid humans as we are compared to such an awesome God, do not have a clue as to what our own good is! Surely, as your post points out, our best pleasure is in delighting in Him.
Praise the Lord for His everlasting mercy in bringing us back to the love of the Father!
