When grief & pain are real…when each day is hard to bear and hope is elusive… this is the time we should counsel our soul on the faithfulness of God. We must bring into remembrance who God is & what He has done. We need to bring to memory all of God’s former acts of faithful love to us, His Covenant promises, and His glorious might & power. And as we reminiscence, our soul will be filled with all the memories of His steadfast love & devotion towards us…and with it then will come the certianity of His merciful kindness.
