Forgetful

Why is it that I have every intention of remembering and putting into action what I've studied in God's Word yet fail to do so the majority of the time?  Everyone knows 1 Corinthians 13, the love chapter, so how is it that I forget to put it into practice when it is so engraved in my mind?  I ask myself these questions when really I know the answer.  We are to put God first in everything we do.  There should be two conversations happening every time you speak with someone.  The conversation you are having with that person, and the conversation you are having with God.  Pray continuously the Lord tells us in 1 Thessalonians 5:16.  This doesn't mean to be muttering prayers to God under our breath every minute of every day, but it does mean that we should be thinking of God first.  What would He want us to say to this person?  How would He want us to act in this situation?  Philippians 2 tells us that our "attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:

Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.  And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death--even death on a cross!  Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

This is how we are called to live.  I pray that I would not forget.
