Rev. Andrew Forrest invited me to preach at Asbury Church this past week. Every time I have preached at Asbury, I experience deep joy and gratitude. It is such a blessing to get to preach here.

The title of this post was the title of my sermon: “Why Are We So Quick to Forget?”

In Exodus, God acts again and again to defend and deliver the Israelites. He works in ways that are direct and supernatural on their behalf.

And yet, no matter how many times God moves in these ways, the next time the Israelites face opposition or obstacles, they doubt and despair. We see this with astonishing clarity in Exodus 14:1-15.

Why are they so quick to forget all that God has already done for them?

More importantly, why are we so quick to forget what God has done for us?

This sermon is more personal than most for me, as I share God’s answer to one of the most desperate prayers I’ve ever prayed and my own forgetfulness years later.

I believe the key to walking with faith in present trials is actively remembering what God has done for us in the past.
