Keeping the Memory Fresh • Writing a gratitude list every evening to “forget not all His benefits” (Psalm 103:2). • Telling the next generation, so “one generation will declare Your works to the next” (Psalm 145:4). • Singing hymns that recount His acts, following Psalm 9:1: “I will recount all Your wonders.” Closing Thoughts Every rescue, provision, and moment of transformation mirrors the grandeur of Job 37:14.
