NOTE: We will see that this reaction to God’s power and deliverance is short-lived. The Israelites have a short memory and need frequent reminders that God is for them. It is not unlike us. God delivers us, but we fail to see Him in our deliverance or we quickly forget how He has delivered us or provided for us or saved us or comforted us. We have spiritual dementia. The only way to fight against this spiritual dementia is to stay connected to God through study of His Word, fellowship with other believers, and prayer.

From the story of Moses, we see that God is long-suffering with us, with our fears and frailties. He longs for us to rest in His arms, but He is faithful to help us make our way even if we come with our many questions and doubts.
