Remember (Daily Devotional)

Welcome everyone, thank you once again for being a part of this study. We've seen how God gave victory to the Children of Israel through the leadership of Deborah and today I want to focus on the fact that she was a person who remembered what took place. She also remembered the people who were involved in the battle that just unfolded. She remembered how God rescued them. She remembered many things about the battle.

So, as you read her song or poem in Judges chapter five, you will see a description of everything that had actually taken place. Now this is a lesson for us. In life we go from season to another season and sometimes we could encounter the similar challenge in every season. In those moments, we forget how God had really come through for us in the previous season. But if we are like Deborah, we make an effort to remember. Yes, there was a time when I went through sickness and the Lord healed me and so I praised the Lord for it. But when I encounter another problem or difficulty in my body, I remember if the Lord could do it, then, I know that He hasn't changed. As scripture says, I, the Lord, I do not change. And also, the fact that His covenant name reveals to us that he is Jehovah Rapha, the Lord who heals us and so based on what God has done in the past, I can walk in faith tomorrow and that is why it is so important for us to remember. The scripture says, forget not all his benefits. Don't forget because He is the one who has blessed us. And sometimes we get these immeasurable blessings upon our lives and at that time were so happy about it and the next moment when something goes wrong, we forget how God actually blessed us. But it's good to remember what God has done. Rejoice, maybe you just want to reminisce those blessings and those deliverances and say God, thank you, you have done this in my life, and I cannot forget what you have done for me. So, remember and make a memorial, if necessary, of the good things that the Lord has done. And I want to read for us from Psalm chapter 77 and verse 11 where the Psalmist says, ‘I will remember the works of the Lord. Surely, I will remember your wonders of old’. Our God is a God who performs wonders after wonders in our lives. And when we keep an account of all these wonders, we end up having a grateful heart, a thankful heart and like Deborah, I'm sure many of us if asked to share our testimonies and sometimes people sharing testimonies, go in to all the small details of what time it was, and how the weather was because they remember how God came through for them in those real challenging circumstances. So, I just want to encourage us remember the goodness of the Lord, remember the greatness of the Lord.

Let's pray together. Heavenly Father, we thank you that Lord you are our Father Lord who blesses us God. We pray that you will help us remember everything you've done for us Lord. And we ask, let our hearts continually give glory to your name. Father, make us such people, in Jesus’s name we pray Amen.
