How can we remember God's "wonders" in our daily lives today? Setting the Scene: Psalm 78:12 “He worked wonders before their fathers in the land of Egypt, in the region of Zoan.” The Heartbeat of Remembering • Remembering is not optional; it safeguards faith (Deuteronomy 6:12). • God’s wonders—past and present—anchor us when today’s circumstances shake us (Psalm 77:11-12). • Forgetfulness breeds unbelief (Psalm 106:7, 13); intentional recall fuels obedience and hope. Practical Ways to Keep God’s Wonders Alive • Daily Scripture meditation – Read a passage that highlights God’s mighty acts (e.g., Exodus 14; Joshua 3). – Speak the verses aloud; hearing reinforces memory (Romans 10:17). • Personal “Stone Piles” – Journal answered prayers, provisions, and unexpected blessings. – Mark dates and brief descriptions—modern memorial stones like those in Joshua 4:7. • Scripture-based art and décor – Place framed verses or symbolic items in high-traffic areas at home (Deuteronomy 6:9). – Use phone lock-screens with Bible promises to prompt reflection throughout the day. • Storytelling in community – Share fresh testimonies at meals or small groups (Psalm 145:4-6). – Retell family deliverance stories so the next generation knows God’s track record (Joel 1:3). • Songs of remembrance – Sing hymns and worship songs rooted in biblical events (Colossians 3:16). – Create playlists titled “God’s Wonders” for commutes or chores. • Sacrificial milestones – Celebrate anniversaries of salvation, baptisms, healings, or breakthroughs with simple feasts (Exodus 12:14). – Give an offering earmarked “Thanksgiving for _____” to cement the memory. Scripture Echoes That Reinforce the Call • Psalm 103:2: “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and do not forget all His kind deeds.” • 1 Chronicles 16:12: “Remember the wonders He has done, His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced.” • Isaiah 46:9: “Remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other.” Living Testimonies: Sharing the Wonders • Keep a ready story of God’s recent faithfulness; be prepared to give it when someone shares a need (1 Peter 3:15). • Let visible gratitude spark curiosity in unbelievers—every recollection of God’s wonders doubles as evangelism (Psalm 105:1-2). |
