Summary: I love reading the Old Testament story of God’s unbounded love for His chosen nation. And as I read it I notice many consistent themes. One theme is God’s constant love and grace, and His people’s persistence in quickly forgetting about it. God performed massive miracles to deliver the nation from their enemies, and they didn’t even make it all the way into the wilderness before they began complaining and questioning God’s plan for their future. This would happen over and over again. God would deliver, they would forget. God then instituted all sorts of traditions and rules so throughout the generations they would “remember”. Isn’t it amazing what a short memory we all have? We are no different than His nation was back then. God performs a miracle in our life, and a week later we’re fearful and questioning Him. We’ve already forgotten! We are so fickle! The Psalmist writes, “I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your wonders of old.” Pray this Psalm! Ask God to help you remember all He has done for you. Remember it as if it was yesterday. Praise and thank Him. Remembering and reflecting on God’s goodness is an excellent way to get motivated to tell others about Jesus Christ!
