What practical steps help us recall God's "great trials" and miracles today? The Verse in Focus Deuteronomy 7:19: “the great trials your eyes saw, the signs and wonders, the mighty hand and outstretched arm by which the LORD your God brought you out. The LORD your God will do the same to all the peoples you now fear.” Why Remember God’s Mighty Acts? • They fuel present faith (Psalm 77:11-12). • They combat fear (Deuteronomy 7:18-19). • They keep gratitude alive (Psalm 103:2). • They equip us to pass the faith on (Psalm 78:4-7). Practical Steps to Keep His Works Fresh 1. Personal Scripture Immersion • Read the Exodus narrative aloud; hearing engages memory (Romans 10:17). • Highlight every verb describing God’s action; write the list in the margin or a journal. • Memorize key verses like Deuteronomy 7:19 or Psalm 105:5: “Remember the wonders He has done…” 2. Testimony Journaling • Date-stamp moments when you experience God’s provision, healing, or guidance. • Review entries weekly; share one entry with a friend or family member to reinforce recall (Malachi 3:16). 3. Visible Memorials • Create a “stone of remembrance” shelf: photos, objects, or note cards that symbolize answered prayer (Joshua 4:6-7). • Place Scripture art around the house—miracle verses in high-traffic spots (Deuteronomy 6:9). 4. Family Story-Night • Retell biblical miracles and personal testimonies around the dinner table. • Invite older believers to share “Red Sea moments”; kids absorb truth through narrative (Exodus 10:2). 5. Worship That Retells • Choose songs that recount God’s acts (“How Great Thou Art,” “Way Maker,” etc.). • Sing them intentionally when fear or doubt surfaces (Psalm 59:16). 6. Ordinances and Celebrations • Approach the Lord’s Supper as a living memorial: “Do this in remembrance of Me” (1 Corinthians 11:24-25). • Mark anniversaries of answered prayer with a simple family meal of thanksgiving. 7. Corporate Testimony Time • Encourage brief testimony slots in small groups or services (Psalm 107:2). • Record them digitally; replay during seasons when faith feels thin. 8. Serve Others in His Name • Step into situations where only God can supply—mission trips, local outreach, hospital visits. • Fresh miracles often follow obedience (Mark 16:20). Living the Memories Out Loud • Speak of His works “morning and evening” (Psalm 92:1-2). • Link every new blessing to a past deliverance—“The same God who parted the sea can handle today’s bill.” • Expect future interventions because His nature hasn’t changed (Hebrews 13:8). Encouragement to Act Today Choose one step above and put it into practice before the day ends. The Father who delivered Israel still delights in making His power unforgettable in your life. |
