Do You Remember

1 Chronicles 16:12 says, "Remember the works He has done...." Job 36:24 tells us, "Remember to extol His work...." And Psalm 77:11-12 proclaims, "I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. I will consider all your works and meditate on all your mighty deeds."

So often it is easier for us to remember bad things instead of good things. To focus on the negative instead of the positive. To dwell on the problem instead of the solution. But we are told in the above verses to always remember what God has done for us. To remember His works, His deeds, and His miracles in our lives.

It's just like with Moses and the Israelites. A big problem came when they were at the banks of the Red Sea, with the ocean water lapping at their feet, and the hot breath of Pharaoh's horses charging up from behind them. But God delivered them from the problem and got all of them - millions of them - across the Red Sea unscathed. Afterward they sang and danced and celebrated - and remembered - what God had done for them.

We must do the same. We will face times in our lives when we will be at the foot of the Red Sea, seemingly without any answers, seemingly with nowhere to run to and nowhere to hide. And God will deliver us. We need to remember those times, and that deliverance, and that salvation. We always need to remember God's works, God's deeds, and God's mighty miracles that He has - and will - accomplish in our lives.
