He remembers his covenant forever, the word he commanded, for a thousand generations.

—Ps 105:8

• We tend to forget all kinds of things—people’s names, places, appointments, what we promised, phone numbers, and more.

• The United States government has made many treaties with First Nation peoples over the past two hundred years, most of which have been forgotten. To our shame, we are a forgetful people.

• God’s covenant with Christians promises several things: “I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know me” (Heb 8:10b–11).

• Reflect on the reality that God is not a forgetful God. When he makes a promise, he keeps it. A thousand generations may come and go, but he remembers his covenant with us.
