– Scripture:
Remembrance
Once again, I’ll go over what God has done and lay out the ancient wonders on the table; I’ll ponder all the things you’ve accomplished and give a long, loving look at your acts.
Psalm 77:11–12 MSG
– Reflection:
It’s hard to complain when you constantly think about how good God has been to you. It’s hard to be negative when you are always talking about God’s blessings and favor in your life. Too often, though, we remember what we should forget—our disappointments, hurts, and failures—and we forget what we should remember—our victories, successes, and the good times.
Where do we go from here?
You must remember God’s goodness regularly, simply thinking about the significant victories in your life, the unexpected successes, or the times when you knew that God intervened in your circumstances and protected you. Remember when you knew your sins were forgiven and became a child of God. If you get this awareness of God’s goodness down inside you, your faith will grow, and your joy will overflow.
Our Prayer for Today
Father, thank You for all the amazing things You’ve done in my life, the victories You’ve helped me win, the restoration, the vindication, and the favor You’ve shown. Help me remember the doors You’ve opened for me and the times You’ve protected, promoted, and given me opportunities. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
