Remember
A word that invokes passion. Remember 911. Remember injustice.
And the panic of I don’t remember.
It is a word that invokes poignancy. Remember high school. Remember your first car.
Sometimes we need to work at remembering. Elie Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor and award winning author, summed up the Old Testament in one word: “remember.” Remember who God is and what God has done. Remember your experiences with God.
The Psalmist said; I shall remember the deeds of the Lord; surely I will remember Your wonders of old. Ps 77:11 (NASB)
Remember the ‘old’ days of motherhood? The sleepless nights, the parent- teacher meetings, driving lessons, defiance. teenage angst, etc? He brought you or is bringing you through those challenges.
Whatever you are facing now, He will bring you through. Remember the impossibly broken relationships He has healed. Remember the fears He calmed, the guidance He provided, the grace and mercy He filled you with so that you could show grace and mercy to others.
Remember your experiences with God.
