What are practical ways to remember God's "wonders" in our daily lives? Key Verse Psalm 105:5: “Remember His wonders He has done, His marvels, and the judgments He pronounced.” Why Remembering Matters • Memory fuels faith—what God has done becomes proof of what He can do. • Forgetfulness breeds fear; remembrance produces confidence (Deuteronomy 7:17-19). • God repeatedly commands intentional remembrance (1 Chronicles 16:12; Psalm 77:11-12). Practical Ways to Keep His Wonders in View • Journal the journey: Record daily answers to prayer, providences, and Scriptures that leap off the page. • Verbal testimony: Work stories of God’s faithfulness into ordinary conversations (Psalm 107:2). • Scripture saturation: Post verses on mirrors, dashboards, phone lock screens (Deuteronomy 6:6-9). • Memorial objects: Place a stone, photo, or memento where it sparks recall—like Israel’s twelve stones from the Jordan (Joshua 4:7). • Worship playlists: Fill commutes and chores with songs that recount His mighty acts (Psalm 40:3). • Communion with intention: When taking the Lord’s Supper, deliberately rehearse personal moments of redemption (Luke 22:19). • Celebrate anniversaries: Mark the date of salvation, healings, or breakthroughs with an annual family meal or outing. • Serve others: Retell God’s works while meeting needs; service keeps His wonders active, not archived (Matthew 5:16). • Nature walks: Pause to name specific attributes of God revealed in creation (Romans 1:20). • Digital reminders: Set calendar alerts titled with past miracles or key verses. Everyday Examples • While paying bills, recall times He supplied unexpectedly (Philippians 4:19). • When tucking children in, revisit family deliverances—“Remember when God healed Grandpa?” • Stuck in traffic? Thank Him for the car He provided and the journeys He’s safeguarded. • Grocery shopping? Praise Him for manna-like provision that appears week after week. • Cooking dinner? Frame each ingredient as evidence of His creative abundance (Psalm 104:27-28). Scriptures that Reinforce the Habit • Psalm 103:2 —“Bless the LORD, O my soul, and do not forget all His kind deeds.” • Isaiah 46:9 —“Remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other.” • Lamentations 3:21-23 —“Yet I call this to mind, and therefore I have hope: Because of the LORD’s loving devotion we are not consumed…” • 2 Peter 1:12-13 —Peter aims “to remind you of these things” so believers stay established. Closing Encouragement The more deliberately we recount God’s wonders, the less room remains for doubt. Turn remembrance into a lifestyle rhythm, and today’s ordinary moments will glow with the glory of what He has already done—and what He promises to do next. |
