April 27
God has given us a rich blessing through His gift of memory. Our ability to reflect upon the pleasant things of our past can lift us up in down times. Our ability to share happy experiences with those who enjoyed them with us gives us a lovely reason to stroll hand-in-hand down ‘Memory Lane” with those we love.
The ability to keep track of our missteps on the path of life enables us to avoid walking into the same folly again and again. Yes, indeed, memory plays a significant role in our lives. Memory is an invaluable tool that enables us to reconstruct past blessings to enjoy again and to avoid destructive pitfalls.
The Lord intends that we remember His working in our lives. He wants us to reflect upon the trials He’s brought us through, the blessings He’s lavished upon us, the words of comfort He’s spoken to our heart in times of sorrow, the words of guidance He’s given us in our moments of confusion.
In Psalm 77:11, 12, David says, “I will remember the Lord’s works, His ancient wonders; I will reflect on all He has done.” The psalmist understood that if we are to have faith for our current challenge, we must remember the challenges He’s enabled us to overcome. Remember them and claim victory again!
