Why did God give us the ability to remember things? Memory is such a strange thing. Memory

doesn't have any substance or form or physical presence, yet somehow it has an immediate

and very present effect on our everyday reality. God gave us the ability to store memories

they were once slaves, remember that they once wondered in the wilderness, and most importantly,

remember how God saved them and brought them through it all. To remember is to apply

the lessons of the past to the circumstances of today. It is good to remember.
