STOP AND REMEMBER

David expresses in Psalm 77 the same powerful emotions that we may feel in our life. He was in great distress, crying to the Lord with a soul that “refused to be comforted.” God seemed an endless distance away as David reminisced about the days when he sang in the night to the Lord. This made him feel even more depressed, unloved and rejected. If you’re one in this condition or situation, moaning, “How do I get out of this mess? How can I be restored?” The first step was to recognize Who God is. The second step was to remember! Remembering pulled David out of his rut.

"I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old. I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings. Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God? Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people."

Psalm 77:11-14(kjv)

Why is remembering such a powerful force? Because when you remember what God has done in the past, you will realize that He wants to perform just as powerfully now and in the future. So stop for a moment. Think of what God has saved you from since you were born again. Remember, He hasn’t changed; He still wants to perform miracles.
