Church we need to be delivered from short term memory loss. We live in such a fast paced world, we do not stop, ponder, meditate on all that God does in just one day, so it literally goes in one ear and out the other. God is doing amazing things in our lives and in the lives of other people around us everyday, but when the winds of adversity blow, we start complaining, doubting and fearing the God who still does miracles.

The world has us on this roller coaster of emotions, so that if we hit a speed bump we feel like God has left us, does not love us and is not for us. This is not biblical faith, these are worldly emotions. Faith is solid, it is stable, it is consistent, it is trustworthy. In the world, we get tossed to and fro, thrown between this and that, whatever comes up we do it. We cancel commitments or see them as no longer important when something new and flashy or more fun comes up. We must stop this.

Our running to and fro is causing us to miss the goodness of God in everyday, so when the winds of adversity blow, we can lean on our history with God to stand in the midst of a storm, a breeze or even an invitation to self-indulge in anyway we like.

Reading Psalm 77 made me realize again, God must be remembered if we are going to prevail over culture that calls us to conform to its whims. We must remember the Lord. “I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your wonders of old. 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? You are the God who works wonders; you have made known your might among the peoples. You with your arm redeemed your people.”

Make time to remember, write down what God does so you have a record of rememberance. Your memory is your history with God that keeps you walking on water when the wind begins to blow. He is faithful always. It is time to remember what He has done for He will do it again.
