How can we remember God's "wonders" in our daily lives? Opening Scripture “He has caused His wonders to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and compassionate.” (Psalm 111:4) The Heart of Remembering • God Himself puts the desire and capacity to remember His mighty acts into us. • Remembering is not optional; it is commanded (Deuteronomy 6:6-9) and safeguards us from forgetfulness that breeds doubt (Psalm 106:7). • Each remembered work of God fuels fresh worship and stronger obedience (Psalm 145:5-7). Practical Habits for Daily Remembrance • Scripture Meditation – Memorize short passages that recount His deeds (e.g., Psalm 103:2-5). – Repeat them aloud during ordinary routines—commutes, walks, chores. • Gratitude Journaling – Record answers to prayer, unexpected provisions, and small mercies each day. – Re-read past entries when faith feels thin (Lamentations 3:22-23). • Visible Memorials – Place a Bible verse card or a small stone on your desk—modern “Ebenezers” like Joshua 4:6-7. – Change phone wallpapers to photos that remind you of His faithfulness. • Worship in Song – Sing hymns and choruses that recount redemptive history (Psalm 98:1-3). – Keep a playlist ready for moments when worry tries to erase wonder. • Storytelling at Home – Retell family rescue stories around the table, tying each to God’s hand (Exodus 12:26-27). – Share personal testimonies with children so the next generation “sets its hope in God” (Psalm 78:6-7). • Weekly Rhythm of Rest – Use the Lord’s Day to look back on the week’s mercies; let corporate worship reinforce collective memory (Hebrews 10:24-25). Living Testimonies • Speak of His wonders openly at work or school when opportunities arise (1 Peter 3:15). • Write brief notes or texts to friends describing a recent answer to prayer. • Celebrate Communion mindfully; every cup and loaf proclaims the greatest wonder—Christ’s sacrifice (1 Corinthians 11:24-25). A Lifestyle of Awe When we weave these habits into ordinary hours, we fulfill Psalm 111:4 in real time—God’s wonders stay vivid, our hearts stay soft, and our witness stays bright. |
