Looking back at the history of God’s people in the Bible, there is a distinct up-and-down cycle. The Israelites would be worshiping God and enjoying His blessings, and then we see them turning their back on God and needing Him to rescue them from oppressors. After God rescues them the people praise Him, only to slip right back into the same downward slide again.
I believe their slipping away from God can be directly linked to their forgetfulness.
If any of us allows our gratitude for all of God’s blessings to fade, we will experience the same slipping away.
However, there is good news! If there is a peril in our forgetfulness, there is also a power in our thankfulness!
