Remember

Have you ever asked God for something, something that you really needed? And then your prayer was answered, and God gave you what you desired?

When God brought the Hebrews out of Egypt, they saw the plagues brought upon Egypt, and were spared when the firstborns died. They saw the Red Sea parted before them, and Pharaoh’s army destroyed. They ate manna in the wilderness. But when they came to Meribah they complained that God had brought them out of Egypt to Meribah only to die of thirst.

How soon we cease to remember the mercies of God. His Blessings soon grow commonplace. He answers us, whether our requests are small or large, and yet we so soon forget to be grateful, and ask for more as if we have never received at all. God does not mind if we ask and then ask again, but we should be mindful of what we have received. We each have a journey that we have made with God beside us, and we should not cease to see how far God has brought us.
