"Limited Memory" -2

"They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy." (Psalms 78:42) Now, if we had some sort of great wisdom and understanding, maybe we could piece all the puzzle parts together, and actually be able to determine what's going on. But the simple fact is that we don't. If we did and we could, then this short life here would be so much easier navigate through, and we wouldn't have so many mistakes along the way. When you read Proverbs, you get the notion that wisdom is one of the most important things that we should be seeking after; however, before you can truly find wisdom, you must be rid of pride and envy. In other words, vanity gets in the way of true wisdom! Now, I am not an expert, by any means, but I know enough to understand how our vanity causes us to loose sight of certain memories. It's not that we can't remember certain things, it's more about how we prioritize certain things to best represent our own understanding; and if we are full of pride and envy, our understanding is totally upside down. You really need to see the drama that was unfolding there on the bank of the Red Sea. Those children of Israel had just went through the most powerful and sacred deliverance that they could have experienced, the Passover; and yet, they still did not understand how powerful God was to deliver them. Did they think it was what they did that saved them? It was only the blood on their doorpost that saved them, not anything that they did inside of their houses. Yet, what did they see now? They saw an army behind them and the sea in front of them, but they forgot the God above them. As simple as that might sound to understand, it's even more simple once we understand the 'cross of Christ' and where are redemption is found... "As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world have been crucified, and the world's interest in me have also died. It doesn't matter whether we have been circumcised or not. What counts is whether we have been transformed into a new creature. May God's peace and mercy be upon all who live by this principle; they are the new people of God." (Galatians 6:14-16) NLT
