Remember
Psalm 77:11-12 ESV
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.
We're naturally forgetful. We tend to 'live in the moment'- to get preoccupied with present problems. The psalmist however determined to remember past mercies.
God is active. He wasn't just working in the past. He continues to act for us to this day.
It's good to remember what God's done for us in the past. The psalmist don't have just been thinking individualistically. He will have pondered the parting of the Red Sea for Israel's deliverance from Egypt.
The supreme act of God that we can meditate on is the resurrection of the Lord Jesus from the dead. Because he lives, we can face tomorrow. Because he lives, there's no need for any fear, whatever life throws at us.
'Lord, help us not to be 'chronological snobs'. Let us be grateful for all you have done for us in the past, and hope in you for the future. In Christ's name, amen'.
