Caused to Remember

Psalm 111

What a great passage about the works of God! The words that jumped out in this reading was the first part of verse 4: "He has caused His wonders to be remembered." God is purposefully causing us to remember what He has done. Just recall when God has worked powerfully in your life. For me it is easy to remember the major works of God in my life. It is interesting that the biggest works of God on my behalf were through the biggest challenges and pains. Those moments of great need created a perfect opportunity for God to work mightily on my behalf, and at the same time, they created strong memory markers.

The Power of Memory

Psalm 114

This Psalmist recalls the power of God displayed in Israel's history, when the red sea was split and the Jordan was stopped. This Psalm is an example of Israel remembering what God had done for them, remembering His powerful work. Many times we do not remember the powerful work of God in our past. God has done amazing things throughout history. That is why God has given us His Word. God has done amazing things in our lives. That is why God has given us a memory. Too many times we use our memory for the wrong things. Memory is a blessing, not a curse. Remember the awesome power of God, recall His great works!
