Have you ever been to a wedding? Did you see the men dressed in their formal clothing? Did you see the women dressed in their formal clothing? Did you see the bride in her beautiful wedding dress?
The bride’s dress is very special. Sometimes the woman will wear the dress her mother wore at her wedding. Sometimes the woman will make her dress. She will find expensive, special materials to make it. Sometimes the woman will have someone else make the dress. The bride wants her dress to be attractive.
Can you imagine a bride getting to her wedding and forgetting her dress? Do you think she would forget such a special dress? Do you think she would want to get married without her dress? What would the groom think about his soon-to-be bride if she could not even remember her wedding dress?
Yet, the Israelites were said to be worse than the bride who forgot her wedding dress. In Jeremiah 2:32, we read, “Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.”
Remembering God and worshipping God is more important than anything in this world. God is our Creator. We are to worship God. We should love God. God wants us to obey Him. He has promised that if we will obey Him, that we can live with Him forever in heaven. It makes no sense to forget the Creator of the Universe. It makes no sense to forget the One who loves us so much. It makes no sense to forget the One who can save us from our sins.
Do not be like the bride who forgets her wedding dress. Study your Bible. Obey God, and if any of this is hard to understand, ask an adult to help you.
