"God Remembers"

I read in "Cry of the Soul" today and looked at a number of different scriptures. A few things that stood out:

Psalm77:11 I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.

Psalm74:2 Remember the people you purchased of old, the tribe of your inheritance, whom you redeemed—Mount Zion, where you dwelt.

Somehow, we forget things. What we go to the store to get (IE: Milk) is classic for me. I tend to forget a lot of things. I always have to ask my wife every now and again if she loves me despite my short-comings. I do this for reassurance and it is good to hear sometimes. Verse 11 (above) is classic of me (and maybe I am the only one) to forget what God has done for me. God has done a lot for me. A LOT!! And despite it all, I forget about it and want more. Not only do I forget the deeds of long ago, but I forget the ones done yesterday. How sad am I? And yet, I can't get the lastest hit on the radio. Stuck into my brain. Where are my priorities? Now, with that said, what about Psalm 74:2? Do I need to ask God to remember anything? By no means. God remembers it all, unless we are cleaned of our sins. God will know what he needs to know. He remembers each of us. He knows each and every hair on my head. He knows me. He knows what I can and cannot handle. He protects me. And I don't deserve a thing.
