I have a friend who is constantly thanking God for good health. It is a prayer we can all pray. My friend prays it because in times past he has not been in good health. It seems little else matters in this life when our health fails us.
Memory is one of God’s greatest gifts to mankind, but all too often it seems our “forgetery” works better than our memory. How often the Israelites forgot their God and what great things He had done for them (Jeremiah 2:9-13).
