How can we actively "remember the wonders" God has done in our lives? Remembering His Wonders “Remember the wonders He has done, His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced.” (Psalm 105:5) Why Remembering Matters • Remembering fuels faith—what He has done becomes evidence of what He can do (Hebrews 13:8). • Remembering guards us from pride and self-reliance (Deuteronomy 8:11-14). • Remembering keeps praise on our lips instead of complaint (Psalm 103:2). Practical Ways to Remember God’s Wonders • Keep a Spiritual Journal – Write answered prayers, unexpected provisions, and moments of guidance. – “Only be on your guard and diligently watch yourselves, so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen.” (Deuteronomy 4:9) • Build Physical Memorials – Place a stone, photo, or meaningful object where you can see it. – Joshua 4:7 shows Israel stacking stones so “these stones shall be a memorial.” • Celebrate Spiritual Anniversaries – Mark dates of salvation, healing, or deliverance with a yearly family celebration. – God established Passover so Israel would “remember this day” (Exodus 13:3). • Tell Your Story Often – Share testimonies at the dinner table, small group, or social media. – “I will proclaim all Your wonders.” (Psalm 9:1) • Sing and Meditate on Scripture – Memorize psalms or hymns tied to personal breakthroughs. – “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly… with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs.” (Colossians 3:16) • Engage in Community Testimony Nights – Hearing others sparks memory of your own blessings (Hebrews 10:24-25). • Teach the Next Generation – Tell children “the glorious deeds of the LORD” so they set their hope in Him (Psalm 78:4-7). • Set Digital Reminders – Use calendar alerts with short notes like “God healed me on this day—2019.” • Offer Regular Thanksgiving in Prayer – Begin daily prayer by listing three past wonders; thanksgiving keeps them vivid (Philippians 4:6). Guarding Against Forgetfulness • Beware prosperity-induced amnesia (Deuteronomy 8:17-18). • Counter cultural noise by scheduling quiet reflection (Psalm 46:10). • Replace negativity by recalling one wonder whenever a complaint surfaces (Psalm 77:11-12). Closing Reflection Choosing to remember is an act of worship. Each deliberate step—journaling, storytelling, celebrating—becomes a modern-day stone of remembrance, pointing our hearts back to the God who continues to do marvelous things. |
