Psalm 59
9 You are my strength; I wait for you to rescue me, for you, O God, are my fortress.
10 In his unfailing love, my God will stand with me.
He will let me look down in triumph on all my enemies.
11 Don’t kill them, for my people soon forget such lessons;
stagger them with your power, and bring them to their knees,
O Lord our shield.
I find verse 11 particularly intriguing. David asked God not to kill his enemies because his people would soon forget about the victories.
On reflection, I realise that I am rather forgetful too. I am easily distracted by the problems of the moment. That's why it's important for me to set aside time for God every day to give thanks to him for his past blessings, for his present help and for his future promises.
