We often take for granted the faithfulness of God throughout the entirety of our lives. Yet, when we remember the faithfulness of God, it restores our faith in God. The Lord has shown us covenant faithfulness that is based not on our own faithfulness, but on His faithfulness. Nehemiah 9 shows a glimpse into the history of Israel, focusing particularly on God\\u2019s faithfulness standing in juxtaposition to Israel\\u2019s unfaithfulness.\\xa0 The root of our unfaithfulness is that we don\\u2019t listen to and we don\\u2019t remember the Lord our God. In Deuteronomy 8, Moses warns the people that they will enter into the Promised Land, gain wealth and success, and believe it\\u2019s because of their own strength and ability that they achieved it, and consequently be tempted to forget God. In other words, our pridefulness to think that we don\\u2019t need God leads us to stop listening and stop remembering.\\xa0 We have all failed God repeatedly, yet he has never failed us. His Gospel is that He will uphold his side of the covenant, and die in our place when we fail to uphold ours. Yet, when we remember the ways God has been faithful to us, it revives our faithfulness towards Him.
