Answered in 2 sources
Remembering what God has done is crucial for maintaining faith and gratitude, preventing us from becoming forgetful and rebellious.
Psalm 78 emphasizes the importance of passing down the memory of God's works to future generations to help them set their hope in God and keep His commandments. Forgetting God's past provision can lead to a hardened heart, as seen with Israel, who saw wonders yet quickly turned away. Remembering His faithfulness encourages trust in His promises and sustains our relationship with Him, reminding us that He has always acted in compassion and mercy. It is through this remembrance that we cultivate a heart of gratitude and reliance on God's sovereign grace in our lives.
