The Bible is sufficient for life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3). We have all we need in Holy Scripture. But again and again we forget that. We don’t remember the sufficiency of Scripture and go about life our own way with our own wisdom, not the Lord’s. 

One of the biggest reasons we falter in our walk with the Lord is because we forget. We forget who he is, we forget what he’s done, we forget who we are in Christ, we forget his promises—and so much more.

As I was reading through Psalm 19 recently, I was struck by verse 10, which proclaims, “More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.”1 I immediately prayed, “Lord, help me remember how sweet your Word is.”

Additionally, earlier in the same Psalm, it says, “The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple” (v. 7). Again, I instantly prayed, “Father, help me remember that your Word revives my soul.”

These two instances made me think about how much we forget. We continually need help remembering how good God is, and what he’s provided for us to get through our walk with Jesus. So let’s practice this and ask the Lord to help us remember some vital things.

Remember God’s providential care. We don’t walk through life alone, even if it may seem like that sometimes. God is always with us; he cares for his children. If he feeds the birds of the air and causes the rain to fall on everyone, how much more will he care and provide for those whom he saved?
