Psalms 106:13
“They soon forgot his works. They didn’t wait for his counsel,”
What does Psalms 106:13 mean?
The psalmist is describing a painful pattern in human nature: we experience God's deliverance and then almost immediately forget what He's done. The people witnessed miraculous rescue but quickly lost sight of it, acting on impulse rather than waiting for His guidance. It's a honest observation about how short our spiritual memory can be, especially when we're anxious or uncertain. Many of us recognize this in our own lives—we feel God's presence during a crisis, find relief or help, and then weeks later we're back to worry and self-reliance, as if that experience never happened.
