It Is Too Easy To Forget Therefore, Let Us….

In the fast-paced world we live in, it's all too easy to forget. We forget grocery lists, names, and even the promises we make to ourselves. But there's one thing we should never forget: God's unwavering faithfulness. 

Consider the story of an elderly couple. The wife, craving an ice cream sundae late at night, repeatedly implores her husband to write down her detailed order. Despite his assurances that he'll remember, he returns with a hamburger, much to her dismay. This humorous anecdote serves as a poignant reminder of the fallibility of human memory. 

The husband's repeated assurances that he'll remember, and his ultimate failure to do so, highlight our human tendency to forget. Research shows that memory is time-based, with approximately 56% of information forgotten within an hour, 66% after a day, and 75% after six days. Our brains, while capable of impressive feats, have a limited capacity to store and recall details. 

Yet, while we may forget, God never does. Deuteronomy 31:6 reassures us, "So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the LORD your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you.” This verse serves as a comforting reminder of God's faithfulness and His enduring presence in our lives.

In a world rife with distractions, it's crucial to remember God's faithfulness. His love endures forever, even when our memories falter. We can become distracted and focus on the wrong things from time to time, but God's grace is always available to us. 

The story of the elderly couple also underscores the importance of writing things down. Just as the wife insisted her husband jot down her sundae order, we too should write down God's promises. By doing so, we can meditate on His words and seek His guidance in our daily lives. 

Writing things down physically, through application, and by including God in all our actions can help us remember. When we write down scriptures and paste them around where we can see them, we are constantly reminded of God's promises. 

Despite our forgetfulness, God's grace is abundant. Our tendency to focus on the wrong things and become distracted does not diminish His love for us. The reassurance that God's love endures forever is a comforting thought in times of crisis or stressful situations. 

The irony of needing more grace when we forget is not lost on us. We receive more grace when we tend to forget, and God's grace sustains us even in those times when we forget. He fills the gaps of our absentmindedness and carries us even when we forget.

In conclusion, let us remember God's faithfulness and His enduring love. Let us write down His promises, meditate on His words, and seek His guidance. Despite our forgetfulness, His grace is always available to us. 

As we navigate through life, let us remember the story of the elderly couple and the lesson it teaches us about remembering God's faithfulness. In a world where memories fail and distractions abound, we must hold on to the promises of God and trust in His unwavering love. 

So, let us not forget, but rather, let us remember. Let us remember God's faithfulness, His promises, and His enduring love. Let us write down His words, meditate on His promises, and seek His guidance in our daily lives. May we never forget that God is faithful, and His grace is always available to us.
