Key Verse: Psalm 77:10 – 12 “So I said, ‘I am grieved that the right hand of the Most High has changed.’ I will remember the works of the LORD; yes, I will remember Your wonders of old.

Ask your father, and he will tell you, your elders, and they will explain to you.” • Joshua 4:6 – 7 – “…When your children ask you, ‘What do these stones mean to you?’ you are to tell them… These stones are a memorial of the Jordan’s waters being cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD.” • 1 Chronicles 16:12 – “Remember the wonders He has done, His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced.” • Psalm 42:6 – “My soul is downcast within me; therefore I remember You from the land of the Jordan…” • Psalm 103:2 – “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and do not forget all His kind deeds.” • Psalm 143:5 – “I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your works; I ponder the work of Your hands.” • Isaiah 46:9 – “Remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other.” • Lamentations 3:19 – 23 – “…Yet I call this to mind, and therefore I have hope: Because of the LORD’s loving devotion we are not consumed…” New Testament Echoes • 2 Corinthians 1:8 – 10 – “This happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.

Practical Ways to Practice Psalm 77:10 Faith • Keep a journal of answered prayers and unexpected provisions. • Read biblical rescue stories aloud when anxiety rises. • Celebrate Communion as Christ’s own memorial of redemption (Luke 22:19). • Share testimonies within family and church, passing faith to the next generation. • In moments of fear, voice a verse that recounts God’s victories, letting memory reshape perspective. |
