DEUTERONOMY 8:2
A lady once approached her pastor with a complaint. She told him she had noticed a lot of repetition in his sermons. “Why do you do that?” she queried. The pastor replied, “People forget.”
Everyone forgets things; like a person’s name, where they left their keys, the ending to a movie, how to do math problems, or passwords.
There are many reasons why we forget – lack of interest, the passage of time, growing older, being too busy, etc.
The pastor was right. People forget. And we need reminders to help us remember what God has done for us. Even with the many miracles they had seen, the Israelites still needed to be reminded of God’s care for them.
Whenever we find ourselves forgetting, we can think about the ways God answered our prayers, and for sure, we can always turn to the scriptures (Bible) that reminds us of His goodness and faithful promises.
