Fw: A dose of reality

Psalm 78 is an amazing recount of God and the people of Israel during the years after He delivered them from slavery in Egypt.  A major them of the psalm is that, despite God doing amazing miracles to sustain millions of people in a desert over generations the people of Israel did a "reverse miracle" and managed to continually forget His reality.
-
It's a good reminder for us...for we who have been born again through faith in Jesus Christ.  Let's not forget to go back in our minds and remember how we also were delivered, personally.  We each have our story of faith...how we were living in our own strength, trying to make it with the limited resources of our minds and bodies...and then God broke into our understanding...broke us out of our "self" lives and showed us deep within our spirits his awesome knowledge of us personally.
-
There are still reminders of how God did miracles in the desert for the people of Israel.  I'm attaching a picture of the rock that Moses struck at God's command to bring gushing rivers up out of the ground and create a river of water to quench the thirst of the people of Israel in the desert.
-
Psalm 78:15 He split rocks in the wilderness
    and gave them drink abundantly as from the deep.
16 He made streams come out of the rock
    and caused waters to flow down like rivers.
