Daily Inspiration Quote by David Wilkerson

Wilkerson’s line lands like a gentle rebuke with teeth: the problem isn’t that God stops acting, it’s that believers misplace the evidence. By pairing “quickly” with “easily,” he frames forgetfulness as less an accident than a spiritual habit - an erosion that happens in daylight, not a dramatic collapse in the dark. The phrasing is pastoral, but the intent is corrective: he’s trying to re-train attention. Memory, in this worldview, isn’t nostalgia; it’s moral infrastructure.

The subtext is about entitlement. “Take for granted” suggests a relationship where past rescue has been converted into a baseline expectation. Yesterday’s “great deliverances” become today’s minimum service level. Wilkerson is warning that familiarity can cheapen the sacred, turning what once felt like a rupture of grace into background noise. The “miracles” aren’t just supernatural events; they’re proof of a personal history with God, and forgetting them doesn’t merely dim gratitude - it destabilizes faith during the next crisis.

Context matters. Wilkerson built his public ministry on the drama of intervention: gang members transformed, addicts sobered, desperate city stories reframed as redemption narratives. He preached to people who had seen the cliff edge up close, which makes the admonition sharper. When life stabilizes, the temptation isn’t to deny God outright; it’s to treat survival as self-explanatory. His rhetoric pushes back against the modern impulse to narrate our lives as self-made progress, insisting that the past, properly remembered, is a standing argument against despair.
