Recall God's acts daily: great & terrible?
How can we remember God's "great and terrible" acts in our daily lives?

Verse in Focus

“He is your praise and He is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome wonders you have seen with your own eyes.” (Deuteronomy 10:21)


Why Remember?

• Remembering fuels continual praise (Psalm 111:2).

• It guards against forgetfulness that leads to drifting (Deuteronomy 6:12).

• It keeps holy fear alive—reverent awe that shapes obedience (Nehemiah 1:5).

• It passes the testimony to the next generation (Psalm 145:4).


Patterns from Scripture

• Memorial stones at the Jordan (Joshua 4:6-7) – tangible reminders of deliverance.

• Annual feasts such as Passover (Exodus 12:24-27) – retelling salvation history.

• Songs of redemption (Exodus 15:1-18; Revelation 15:3) – truth set to melody for hearts to carry.

• The Lord’s Supper (Luke 22:19) – continual meeting place with His great and terrible act at the cross.


Simple Reminders for Today

• Write a brief record of answered prayer or deliverance; date it and review weekly.

• Place a visible token (a stone, a printed verse, a photo) where you pray; let it prompt thanksgiving.

• Weave Scripture into the rhythms of the day—phone wallpaper, sticky notes, or audio Bible during commutes.

• Speak out loud one mighty act of God at mealtime; let family or friends hear it.

• Sing a hymn or worship song that recounts His power when fear or complacency creeps in.

• Mark the calendar for annual reflection days tied to personal milestones of God’s intervention.


Carrying Awe into Ordinary Moments

Pause whenever you witness order, beauty, or even shaking events in creation (Psalm 19:1; Nahum 1:5-6). Link what you see to the God who split seas and raised Christ. Whisper thanks, confess His greatness, and let that remembrance recalibrate the moment—turning the mundane into worship and the fearful into trust.
