They forgot what HE had done— the great wonders HE had shown them.
Psalms 78:11
NLT Bible
The Israelites wandered through the desert for a very long time and during this period, God did many wonderful things for them, but alas, they easily forgot it all. He brought them out of Egypt where they were slaves with a promise to take them all to the Promised Land. With Moses leading the way, God guided them with a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. When they came to the Red Sea, with Pharaoh and his army in hot pursuit, God parted the sea and allowed all of them to cross over to the other side. Then, when they were hungry, He provided manna for them to eat and water to quench their thirst. Yet, they murmured and grumbled, forgetting the mercy, protection, provision and faithfulness of the Lord.
Many of us are quick to notice and maybe even complain if others forget kindnesses we've shown to them in the past. Yet, as children of God, we're just like that at times. We forget all that God has done for us in the past like the times He delivered us from various pitfalls, danger and temptations. We don't remember how He provided for us, healed us and made seemingly impossible situations possible. I'm sure that if we pause and reflect, we'd be able to recall the numerous times God has blessed us. We must never forget the goodness and faithfulness of God!
Thank you Lord for all that You've done for me in the past. You've met all my needs and blessed me in numerous ways. You are worthy to be praised, I love you, Jesus. Amen!
Be Blessed!
