We know that God doesn’t want us to dwell on the past…for that usually includes guilt, shame, and regrets. But He does want us to remember…recollecting His mighty works, reflecting upon His past deeds, and commemorating how He’s worked in our life. Many times this will happen after we have walked out of that dark valley into the sunshine…after the storm of life has passed and we can see clearly for the first time in a while. It’s not that we can’t feel His Presence within the storm…it’s just that in its midst, we’re overwhelmed and hanging on by a thread…so it’s not usually until we’re on the other side can God show us His mighty acts. Then, remembering is an act of worship, of recognizing our dependence on God, and the importance of meditating on both His deeds recorded in Scripture as well as our personal experiences… that help to strengthen our faith. So remembering is good…for it inspires gratitude, encouragement, and hope to face the future.
