REMEMBER WHEN... | THE PROBLEM WITH “REMEMBER WHEN” JEDI KIM | NOVEMBER 30, 2025 WE FORGET WHAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER AND WE REMEMBER WHAT WE SHOULD FORGET. “Then the foreign rabble who were traveling with the Israelites began to crave the good things of Egypt. And the people of Israel also began to complain. ‘Oh, for some meat!’ they exclaimed. ‘We remember the fish we used to eat for free in Egypt. And we had all the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic we wanted. But now our appetites are gone. All we ever see is this manna!’ The manna looked like small coriander seeds, and it was pale yellow like gum resin. The people would go out and gather it from the ground. They made flour by grinding it with hand mills or pounding it in mortars. Then they boiled it in a pot and made it into flat cakes. These cakes tasted like pastries baked with olive oil. The manna came down on the camp with the dew during the night. Moses heard all the families standing in the doorways of their tents whining, and the Lord became extremely angry. Moses was also very aggravated.” Numbers 11:4-10 (NLT) NOSTALGIA POLISHES THE PAST AND OBSCURES THE PRESENT. WE ROMANTICIZE WHAT WAS AND RESENT WHAT IS. THREE WAYS TO BREAK THE PROBLEM OF “REMEMBER WHEN”: 1. SEE THE WHOLE PICTURE “For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest. A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to tear down and a time to build up. A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance. A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones. A time to embrace and a time to turn away. A time to search and a time to quit searching. A time to keep and a time to throw away. A time to tear and a time to mend. A time to be quiet and a time to speak. A time to love and a time to hate. A time for war and a time for peace.” Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (NLT) 2. REMEMBER RIGHTLY “And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.” Philippians 4:8 (NLT) 3. LIVE IN THE PRESENT “Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NLT) “To be grateful for the good things that happen in our lives is easy, but to be grateful for all of our lives the good as well as the bad, the moments of joy as well as the moments of sorrow, the successes as well as the failures, the rewards as well as the rejections that requires hard spiritual work.” —Henri Nouwen DON’T LET WHAT WAS DISTORT WHAT IS — ANCHOR YOURSELF WITH GRATITUDE.
