2- Remember where we came from
Psalms 106 9-13 He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; he led them through the depths as through a desert. 10 He saved them from the hand of the foe; from the hand of the enemy, he redeemed them. 11 The waters covered their adversaries; not one of them survived. 12 Then they believed his promises and sang his praise. 13 But they soon forgot what he had done and did not wait for his plan to unfold.

Isaiah 30:41  But those who wait on the Lord. Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles. They shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not faint.
