Teaching Points The Danger of ForgetfulnessForgetting God's past deliverance can lead to spiritual decline. We must continually remember and recount God's faithfulness in our lives.

God's Faithfulness Despite Our Failures Even when we are unfaithful, God remains faithful. His grace is available to us when we return to Him with sincere hearts.
