Why Do We Do That?

What makes us obsessed with depending on ourselves and those around us?

What makes us forget to look up? 
I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. Psalm 121:1-2, NIV

What makes us crave people’s acceptance?

What makes us forget we’ve been hand-picked, accepted in the Beloved?
…He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world… to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved. Taken from Ephesians 1:4 and 6

What makes us envy what others have?

What makes us forget who cares for us?
The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing. Psalm 23:1, NIV

What makes us compare ourselves to each other?

What makes us forget we are wonderfully unique?
For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. Ephesians 2:10, NLT

What makes us care about people’s opinions?

What makes us forget God’s thoughts about us? 
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11

What makes us worry about those who don’t love us?

What makes us forget the measure of God’s love for us? 
For God SO loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16 NKJV, emphasis mine

What makes it so difficult to remember the CROSS, the answer to all our questions?

For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:21, NKJV

All I can say is, “All glory to Jesus! Our forgetfulness never stops God’s faithfulness to His people!”
