Remembering His Faithfulness

Published on by amylinnea2 Comments

I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your wonders of old. I will ponder all your work, and meditate on your mighty deeds. Psalm 77:11-12

Do you remember?

Do you ponder all God has done for you?

All He has done for others?

Better yet, do you keep a record?

A journal of all His faithfulness?

I have one. It’s not great as I admittedly forget to write things down. Regularly.

But I’m going to get better. Way better.

One could write volumes each day, couldn’t we?

If only we could see what God sees.

What He protects us from.

What our prayers do in heaven.

What plans He has for us.

How near each day He really is to us.

We’d be in utter awe.

Jaw on the ground type thing.

Psalm 77 begins with crying out to the Lord.

He is troubled. So troubled he cannot speak.

His mind works, though. Sound familiar?

He begins to ask himself if God’s steadfast love has forever ceased?

He then sets his mind on God.

He decides to focus on God instead of his present misery.

On God’s promises and faithfulness.

He determines to remember and ponder what God has faithfully done for him and others.

He reminds himself God was always there, going before. Preparing the way.

While we cannot see God’s literal footprints, imagine them.

Picture God walking with you, sitting with you, watching over you while you slumber.

God wants to be your first thought when you wake and your last before you sleep.

If we had a glimpse into the spiritual realm, we’d never have anything before God. Ever.

God’s authority is here. As a Christian, live within His sovereign authority.

Ask Him for eyes to see all He does for you.

And choose to remember God’s faithfulness to you today and always.

That reminds me of my book.

Yes, I wrote a book. So excited!!!

Actually, God wrote a book for me. It’s a DAILY devotional for women taken straight from my blogs. 365 devotions. WOW, right?

It’s called Trusting God with Every Breath. Subtitle of my blog.

It’s a tangible reminder of God’s faithfulness to me. Written evidence. Now that I think about it, I do record His faithfulness.

Book is due September 5th. Hard to believe, although I’ve been working on it for over a year now. So much work, but so rewarding!

Anyhow, God is good. Even in the times of “if”, He still is. He’s got you and He’s got me. What more could we ever need?

Following God When Asked

Published on by amylinneaLeave a comment

By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. Hebrews 11:8 ESV

Has God directed you a certain way, but you’re not sure why?

Has God asked you to go a certain way, but you’re not sure where?

Trusting God while walking in darkness takes guts. We’re talking seriously strong guts.

Trusting someone we cannot see for a direction we are not sure where?

Are you crazy? Yep. You?

I wouldn’t call it crazy. I would call it trust. Wild trust. But trust with a secure foundation.

Abraham had layers of trust with God, knowing he could rely on God’s faithfulness.

While he did not know where he was going, he knew God was with him.

That God had ordained his steps. That was enough for him.

Is that enough for you? We have layers of trust with God, too.

Faithfulness found in the details of our lives when we care to look back. To remember.

God has always been there for you. He continues to be and will continue to be.

His faithfulness to you stretches over all of your days.

With God, there is nothing to fear, because you can look back at His personal faithfulness to you.

When He asks you to go somewhere, you can go.

When He asks you to do something, you can.

Even if you don’t know all the why’s, what if’s, or where’s, you can start on the journey.

Count yourself blessed. Just like Abraham, your faith in God will enable you to follow God all the days of your life.

Why would you follow anyone else?
