How can we "remember the works of the LORD" in daily life? Foundation Verse “I will remember the works of the LORD; yes, I will remember Your wonders of old.” (Psalm 77:11) Why Remembering Matters • God commands it: “Be careful not to forget the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.” (Deuteronomy 6:12) • Praise flows from it: “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and do not forget all His kind deeds.” (Psalm 103:2) • Hope rests on it: “Yet I call this to mind, and therefore I have hope.” (Lamentations 3:21) Practical Ways to Remember the Works of the LORD • Daily Scripture intake – Read aloud a passage that highlights God’s acts (e.g., Exodus 14, Joshua 3–4, Luke 24). – Write one verse on a card or phone lock-screen to revisit throughout the day. • Personal testimony journal – Record answered prayers, providential meetings, and deliverances. – Revisit past entries when doubts arise; let yesterday’s mercies fuel today’s faith. • Verbal recounting – Share God’s interventions with family and friends: “Let the redeemed of the LORD say so.” (Psalm 107:2) – Weave God’s deeds into ordinary conversation; celebration strengthens memory. • Physical reminders – Set up modern “memorial stones” (photos, artwork, a special object) modeled after Joshua 4:7. – Place them where you will see them and briefly recall the story each time. • Singing truth – Compile a playlist of hymns and songs that recount God’s mighty acts (e.g., “Great Is Thy Faithfulness,” “How Great Thou Art”). – Sing or hum during commutes, chores, or walks; melody engraves memory. • Corporate worship engagement – Arrive expectant, ready to testify during fellowship times. – Note each week’s sermon or testimony of God at work—add highlights to your journal. • Regular communion – Obey Christ’s command: “Do this in remembrance of Me.” (Luke 22:19) – As you partake, intentionally recall the cross, the empty tomb, and personal salvation moments. • Serving others – Actively meeting needs mirrors God’s past works; service embeds His character in daily life (1 John 3:18). – Write down how God uses you; acts of love become present-day “wonders.” When Forgetfulness Creeps In • Re-read key passages—Psalm 77, Psalm 103, 1 Chronicles 16:12. • Call a believer who will remind you of God’s faithfulness. • Fast from distractions that dull spiritual memory, replacing them with focused meditation. Living Testimony Consistent remembrance fuels worship, stabilizes emotions, and equips you to stand firm when trials hit. As Psalm 77:11 declares, intentionally recalling “wonders of old” transforms ordinary days into ongoing celebrations of God’s unchanging faithfulness. |
