Don't Forget to Remember
Kyle Kauffman // October 4th, 2026
It can be easy to forget things. And sometimes we forget the most important things. Things like birthdays and anniversaries can easily slip our minds or we forget where we put things like keys, wallets, or phones. The Bible shows us that one of the biggest things we forget is who we are in relation to God and what God has done for us. It’s instructive that the first things God has Israel do when they enter the promised land is not to immediately rush into battle, but to first of all do two things that remind them of who they are in relation to God – reminding them that they are God’s people, and they are God’s people who He has redeemed. Today God wants us to be continually reminded of these things as well. It’s easy for us to rush into doing things for God or become consumed with all we have to do with this life, and we can quickly forget what matters most. This is why God over and over again reminds us as well – “Don’t forget to Remember who you are and what I’ve done for you.”
Joshua 5:1-12
