The children of Israel had short memories–they were always forgetting what God had done for them. As a result, they were habitual complainers. They grumbled and griped at every turn–when they became hungry; when they became thirsty; when they found themselves in a tight spot. We, too, are bad to forget all that God has done for us in Christ, and a forgetful heart is quick to complain. Let me encourage you to remember how blessed you are by counting your blessings every day. When we THINK of all that the Lord has done for us, we can’t help but THANK Him for His goodness and mercy which are following us all the days of our lives.
