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?
