How’s your memory? There are many reasons that our minds don’t work as
well as we want them to, including sleep patterns and diet. But the
bigger reality is that we all tend to forget over time. Even the best
of us are more likely to remember things we focus on and forget the
things we never think about. Of course, our Creator knows this and He
has given us instructions on what to do about it for our spiritual
well-being. As Israel prepares to leave Egypt, God speaks to them about
some new ‘rules’. But if you look a little deeper, these instructions
are really about remembering how God had rescued them. We’ll look at the
nature of God’s method to help them remember, and then we’ll ask if
there are any ways we can do the same.
