Remembering God

Have you ever been awestruck by a sunset? Or left speechless by the meticulous details of the living cell, the human eye, the mysterious ocean, or the vast universe? How often do you think about what God has made, or the ways that He has worked?

The psalmist Asaph, wrote:

“I will ponder all your work, and meditate on your mighty deeds. Your way, O God, is holy. What god is great like our God?”

• ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭77:12-13‬ ‭ESV

One of the best things we can do is remember God—how He gives good gifts, writes the best stories, and is constantly making beauty from ashes. He created us, pursued us, and even gave His own life for us.

But remembering God takes intentionality.

Remembering God doesn't happen on accident, which is why we have to intentionally commit to reflecting on Him each day. Purposefully remembering God’s bigness helps us recognize our smallness. Deliberately recalling His goodness helps us understand our deep need for Him.

Pondering God’s work and meditating on His deeds compels us to worship.

That’s why Asaph also said, “I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your wonders of old.” (Psalm‬ ‭77:11‬ ESV)

When we remember what God has done, we will want to celebrate who He is.

So think about it: How have you seen God’s handiwork in nature? How have you seen His faithfulness in history? Where have you seen His fingerprints over the course of your life?

Take some time today, and remember God.
