Temptation to Forgetfulness
Hebrews 10:22
“Satan does not here fill us with hatred of God, but with forgetfulness of God.”
—TEMPTATION
The greatest form of punishment that can be handed out to another human being is not acts of aggression, but to be ignored and to be subject to the slow, painful effect of neglect. This destroys the other person. It makes the other a nonperson. Similarly, the greatest temptation is not to be angry with God, but to gradually ignore Him to the point where He is no longer relevant for those things that are important features of our lives.
Prayer
Father, grant that when my relationship with You becomes problematical, may I continue to actively engage You in an attempt at resolution and not simply begin to ignore You. Amen.
